Rumors started popping up recently that OU had been picking up interest in Jenks defensive tackle Tony Gillespie.

"I've still been getting mail from them, but I haven't really talked with them or received an offer," said the four-star recruit, who is the 22nd-ranked player at his position.

Gillespie (6-0, 295) said he's received the most interest Arkansas, Tennessee and Kansas State.

He's yet to set his official visits.

"I'll set them soon," he said. "I'll probably take two during the season and the rest afterwards."

He said he'd like one of those visits to be in Norman, if the opportunity is provided.

"Growing up, me and my family have always been OU fans, so who wouldn't want to go there?" he said.

"I don't know if they'll look my way, but if they do come calling, that would be really good."

Gillespie had nine tackles last week as 6A No. 2 Jenks defeated fourth-ranked Owasso, 48-7.
