Ole Miss’s explosive, high-upside interior disruptor
In the 2024 season at Ole Miss, Walter Nolen III flashed the rare first-step burst and backfield disruption that make evaluators lean in: he finished with 48 tackles, 6.5 sacks, and 2 passes batted, showing a motor and pass-rush ceiling that pop on tape. The tradeoff was consistency—he can get washed at times against the run and still has room to sharpen his hand counters—but his blend of athleticism, violence, and SEC-tested upside makes him a fit for teams wanting a disruptive 3-tech who can change games, not just occupy space.
