Speyer currently attends Arlington HS located in Ohio where he plays both tight end and defensive end. He will line up on defense for the RedHawks. As a junior, he was an All-BVC conference selection and looks to expand on his success as a senior.

In a recent conversation with Hustle Belt Speyer explained why Miami is the right fit for him.

"There was a lot of reasons Miami was the right place for me. Their academics are superior to everywhere else around, their coaches have the program on the right track, and [the] tradition that Miami has is up there with the top in the nation. When they offered, I realized they had everything, there was no need to wait."

While Speyer still has his senior year of high school to play, he still has put some thought into a few goals he would like to accomplish while in Oxford.

"The biggest goal is to win a MAC championship, and I think with the players they have coming in the '16 class [we] can accomplish that. Off the field, if I could get a degree in business from the Farmer School of Business that would just set me up for success later in life."
