Alabama has not slowed down its push on the recruiting trail in the month of July, even heating up in some regards. That continued on the 4th with a holiday commitment from a key Mississippi player.
On Friday, Kalen DeBoer and his staff picked up a commitment in the form of Nolan Wilson, a defensive lineman out of Picayune Memorial in Mississippi. He drew a host of major offers before eventually settling on Alabama, committing to the Crimson Tide over Auburn, Ole Miss, Florida and Miami.

Wilson is listed at 6-foot-4 and 250 pounds as a 4-star DL, according to the 247 Sports Composite. He’s the 58th overall player in the country, regardless of position, and the No. 6 DL in the country for the 2026 recruiting class. Wilson also checks in as the No. 3 player out of Mississippi.
Wilson gives DeBoer and his staff a 3rd commitment since the calendar turned to July, joining 5-star WR Cederian Morgan and 3-star WR Brian Williams. Those players add onto what was a hot June streak, with Paul Finebaum even comparing the recent tear to one resembling the iconic tenure of Nick Saban.
At this juncture, the Tide have the 6th overall recruiting class in the country per the team composite with 18 hard commitments. We’ll see if Alabama can keep this momentum going in a run toward potentially grabbing the top spot in the country.
