Position: Defensive line
Ratings: Four stars from ESPN. Three stars from 247Sports and Rivals and both of them had him rated as a top-100 player in Florida.
Other Offers: He was an original commit to Florida and had plenty of offers including Alabama, Miami, USC and Texas A&M.
Dino’s projected nickname: Francois the First or Sir Francois sound regal enough for Dino to use.
Player Breakdown: A late flip who is already enrolled on campus, Nolton brings size, speed and the ability to get after the quarterback. With the Orange looking to replace Cody Roscoe and Kingsley Jonathan on the outside, Nolton will have the opportunity to get on the field next Fall.
