Despite FSU rumor, Giles still committed to Tennessee
Gaither star running back and Tennessee commit Jarvis Giles heard this week about a Tallahassee radio report that said he was going to Florida State instead of Knoxville.
It was news to him.
"People were coming up to me saying, 'You're going to Florida State?'" Giles said. "I'm like, 'What you talking about?'"
Giles, aiming for his third straight 1,000-yard rushing season at Gaither, committed to the Vols this summer. While he said the calls and emails from other schools have died down, he still receives plenty of mail. The most comes from Florida State and Florida.
"I'm still getting mail from everybody," Giles said.
But Giles said he remains a future Volunteer.
"Hopefully I can take care of that rumor right now," Giles told the Times. "I ain't going back on my word. I'm going to Tennessee. That's where I'm staying and I'm happy with it."
