Auburn target Nolan Wilson to make decision soon
The Auburn Tigers could gain a commitment from a four-star defensive lineman as early as next week. Sam Spiegelman of Rivals reported on Friday that four-star defensive lineman Nolan Wilson could make his announcement of which school he will be attending next week. Wilson is from Picayune, Mississippi where he plays high school football for Picayune Memorial High School. Outside of Auburn he has strong interest from Alabama, Florida, Miami, and Ole Miss. Advertisement Wilson is a prospect for the 2026 recruiting class, and a commitment to the Tigers would bolster Auburn's ranking. The Tigers have dropped over the past few weeks due to players pulling their commitments to go elsewhere. Wilson is the No. 4 player in Mississippi and ranked nationally at No. 99 by 247Sports. He is the No. 15 defensive lineman for the 2026 class as well. Auburn currently ranks No. 78 according to 247Sports with seven commits for 2026. The Tigers currently do not have a defensive lineman committed to the class. Hugh Freeze and staff saw the defensive line as a position of need following the 2024 season. The Tigers signed four players to the 2024 recruiting class and added three more in the transfer portal. They will need to continue to add to that position for future seasons. It will be important for Auburn fans to keep an eye on the commitment of Wilson. Tigers' fans have become concerned about where Auburn is with its recruiting for 2026. Adding Wilson will ease some of the nervousness on the Plains.

Auburn named a finalist for top-five 2026 defensive lineman
Auburn named a finalist for top-five 2026 defensive lineman Auburn remains heavily involved in the recruitment of No. 4 defensive lineman Nolan Wilson, following the reveal of his top-five schools. Auburn football has had recent success in recruiting quality defensive linemen such as Malik Autry, Jourdin Crawford, Malik Blocton, and Keldric Faulk. Auburn is now in the mix to secure another one in the 2026 recruiting cycle following a top-five reveal. Nolan Wilson, a four-star defensive lineman from Picayune, Mississippi, dropped his top-five schools this week, which included the Auburn Tigers. Auburn remains a heavy threat in Wilson's recruitment, joining Ole Miss, Florida, Miami, and Alabama. 'I was able to narrow it down based off of the relationships that I have with the coaches, the like I have for the school and how they said that they would develop me and use me,' Wilson said in a recent interview with On3. Relationships are a key driver in Wilson's recruitment, and Auburn has two excellent tools to support this area. Auburn defensive line coach Vontrell King-Williams has been a force in Auburn's recruitment recently, and it helps that Hugh Freeze landed one of Wilson's high school teammates during the 2024 cycle. 'The relationship that I have with Coach Vontrell King-Williams, my former teammate Jamonta Waller, the atmosphere of the Auburn games, and how they said they'd use me as well," Waller said of Auburn and the relationships he has built within the program. The four-star defensive lineman has not set a commitment date yet, but will begin his official visit tour next week at Alabama. He will visit Auburn during the weekend of June 6 before rounding out June with visits to Ole Miss and Miami. Wilson is the No. 4 defensive lineman from the 2026 cycle according to On3's Industry Ranking, and is a top-five overall recruit from Mississippi by every major recruiting outlet.
