"Just got off the phone with Texas running back Trevor Speights and he told me he has decommitted from Arizona. Not too much of a shock here as we've questioned how strong that commitment was after some of our conversations with him and in fact that decommitment happened last week.

Speights stays in touch with coach Gillespie 'daily,' and said he will be back up to Tennessee several times this summer when he visits his friends in Maryville. He said he would likely visit the school multiple times

He also mentioned Texas A&M and a few other schools in the mix. I'll have a full story later tonight from Speights."

"I talk to coach G almost every day. When I was up in Tennessee I went there twice so we just bonded and ever since then we've been talking like every day," Speights said. "He's a great guy. I could see myself playing for him and he will push you to the limit and make you a better back and that's what I want."

With friends living in nearby Maryville, Speights was in Tennessee in March for a week and saw Tennessee twice, sandwiched around a trip to Vanderbilt. He likes the history of the Tennessee program and plans to stay in touch moving forward.

"Tennessee is Tennessee," Speights explained. "They're a great and prestigious school and they've won a lot of championships. I can see myself playing for them some day so I'm not going to pass up an opportunity to do that and stop talking to them so I'm continuing to communicate with them."

"I'm just going to try and build strong relationships with every school I'm interested in and then I'll probably make my decision some time in the summer because I want to graduate early and enroll early," Speights explained. "I want a good academic system that can help me acheive my academic goals. I want a chance to play as a freshman and make an impact early. And, being close to home doesn't matter, but it would be nice. Then, exposure. I want to play on a big stage like SEC ball."
