Alabama football’s four-star quarterback target, Air Noland released his top seven Saturday via Twitter and released his commitment date.
Noland attends Langston Hughes High School in Fairburn Georgia, and he garners a four-star rating from multiple recruiting sites. He has Alabama, Arkansas, Clemson, Ohio State, Oregon, Miami and Texas A&M in his top seven. Noland will announce his commitment on April 8.
Nick Saban offered Noland in January. The four-star spoke glowingly of the Crimson Tide after earning the offer.
“The hardware they have at Alabama is not there for no reason,” said Noland. “The legacy speaks for itself. They have everything you are looking for on the field there; the trophies, the coaches, the players and the staff. Off the field, they have a great institution for student-athletes. When I think of the university of Alabama, I think of the trophies, the National Championships and of course coach Saban.”
Alabama did have a commitment from five-star quarterback, Julian Sayin when Noland earned an offer from Alabama. The Georgia product noted he was aware of Sayin’s commitment, but he was going to still look at Alabama as a potential landing spot.

“You have to compete at the job I play, which is quarterback,” said Noland. “You can not run away from competition, especially at the position I play, especially with the game of football. Competition is something you can not shy away from. I know they have a commit. At the end of the day, it is business. Coach actually told me he is going to take two in his class, just knowing that they have a commit is something I have to take into consideration. But at the end of the day, I would love to go out and compete with any and every quarterback in the country.”
At 6-foot-3 and 195 pounds, Noland led Langston Hughes to a 6A state championship during the 2022 football season. His accuracy and ability to drop the football in his target’s hands were among his biggest strengths during that run. He finished the year with 4,095 passing yards and 55 touchdowns while only throwing four interceptions.
