The 6-foot-1, 194-pound Spillman is from Lipscomb Academy in Nashville, Tennessee. He plays for head coach and Super Bowl champion quarterback Trent Dilfer.

Spillman discussed his commitment to Tennessee with Vols Wire.

“What stood out to me was just the relationship I have with the coaching staff,” Spillman said of Tennessee. “Since day one, they have really put in the effort to build a great relationship with me and my family. I love that Coach Heupel’s offense is fast and explosive. I like how he gets the ball to the receiver’s hands and lets them make big plays. I like that he trusts the receivers to go and make big plays when needed.

“The fan base and atmosphere definitely stood out to me, too.”

Spillman plays the X-receiver position at Lipscomb Academy.

Dilfer previously joined the show “Football Two-A-Days” and discussed his coaching career and implementing an Air Raid offense at Lipscomb Academy.
