Stanford lands Speights

One of the most productive running backs in the history of Texas high school football will play his college ball on The Farm.

2016 McAllen Memorial High School standout Trevor Speights announced his commitment to Stanford via Twitter on Monday night - Cardinal assistant coach Lance Taylor stopped in for an in-home visit on Monday when Speights made his choice official.

"After a tremendous amount of prayer and thought, I have finally come to the conclusion where I will further my education for the next four years," Speights wrote. "First I want to thank all the great programs that have extended an offer to me. With that being said, for the next four years I will be attending Stanford University. #NerdNation"

Speights chose Stanford over several other offers from top programs. Texas A&M and Oklahoma were also thought to be high on his list.

Speights received a Stanford offer in the spring. He took his first trip to The Farm in May for the Cardinal's Junior Day and has been in consistent contact with the program in the months since.

The three-star standout joins Beau Bisharat and Brandon Stephens as 2016 running backs currently committed to the Cardinal.
