Texas A&M reportedly makes decision on Walter Nolen’s status for South Carolina game
Texas A&M will reportedly get back a key defender this weekend.
Against the Tennessee Volunteers, Walter Nolen was carted off of the field. Many were fearing the worst as the injury looked serious for Nolen.
However, the former No. 1 prospect in the country will be good to go for the Aggies against South Carolina on Saturday, according to a report from On3’s Matt Zenitz.

Nolen has been a major factor in the Aggies having a top 10 overall defense thus far. The Aggies are allowing just 277.9 yards per game and are 4th in the nation in sacks. Nolen has collected 4 sacks, 7.5 tackles for loss, and 26 tackles this season.
The Aggies are coming off of a bye week after losing at Tennessee and falling to 4-3. Now, the team looks to get back on track against the 2-5 South Carolina Gamecocks. After the Gamecocks, the Aggies will end the season against Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Abilene Christian, and LSU.
