Nolton is a highly sought after prospect as he holds offers from Alabama, Florida State, and Miami among others. He is rated a 4-star DE by the 247 composite rankings.
The Edison High junior is the No. 12 DE in the 2022 cycle and the No. 214 overall prospect in the nation.
Nolton is Florida’s second commitment to the 2022 class, joining WR Syveion Ellis. Five star athlete Sam McCall was a pledge, but decommitted after DBs coach Torrian Gray was let go.
