The senior running back from Crowley (La.) High School, who committed to the Vols on Jan. 15, was scheduled to travel to Nebraska on his last official visit but remains committed to Tennessee, according to his father, Kirk Landry.

Landry said Bourque, a four-star prospect who’s ranked the No. 8 all-purpose back in the 2012 class by 247Sports, enjoyed his visit to Miami, but not enough to convince him to back out on his pledge to the Vols.

“We’re probably going to visit Nebraska this weekend,” Landry said prior to the visit. “But Davante said it’s going to take something special to get him away from Tennessee.”

The 6-foot-2, 210-pound Bourque has developed a strong relationship with new Tennessee running backs coach Jay Graham, Landry said, and was impressed with virtually everything he saw and heard during his official visit to Knoxville less than two weeks ago.
