Just two days after his latest visit to Tennessee, one of the Vols’ top wide-receiver targets in the 2019 class officially is back on the market.

Three-star wide receiver JaVonta Payton of Northwest Mississippi Community College in Senatobia, Miss., announced Monday night on his Twitter account that he has decommitted from Ole Miss, reopening his recruitment after being committed to the Rebels for more than eight months.

The 6-foot-2, 182-pound Payton, a former standout at Hillsboro High School in Nashville, Tenn., returned to Tennessee on Saturday for the second time this year, taking an unofficial visit for the Vols’ home game against top-ranked Alabama.

Payton also strongly considered Tennessee coming out of high school and was leaning toward the Vols at one point, but questions about his academic status ultimately prevented him from signing with them.

“I wanted to go to UT for the longest at one point,” he told GoVols247 in June.

He signed with Ole Miss in 2017 before enrolling at Northwest Mississippi, and he again committed to the Rebels in February. But other teams, including Tennessee, have continued pursuing him in recent months.

First-year Vols coach Jeremy Pruitt’s staff extended a scholarship offer to Payton in June, when he returned to Knoxville for the first time since his senior year at Hillsboro.

“(Pruitt) loves my speed, and when he watched my film, he loves how I play and how I move,” Payton said in June. “And he sees that how I play is natural, and a lot of receivers don’t use their hands like I use mine. … He just loves how I move around on the field.”

After his visit to Tennessee in June, Payton said Pruitt, wide receivers coach David Johnson and the rest of the Vols’ first-year staff already had made a good impression on him.

Johnson also recruited Payton during his previous stint at Memphis.

“The one thing I can say about the new staff: I love how they talk to the players, get to know the players, especially,” Payton said in June. “I know, when I went up there, they asked me a lot of questions, not trying to get to know me as a football player, but as an individual. I would say that’s the main thing that I noticed about them.”

Tennessee still is searching for help at wide receiver. The Vols signed only one true receiver — former three-star prospect Cedric Tillman — in the 2018 class, and four-star Ramel Keyton of Marietta (Ga.) High School is Tennessee’s only wide receiver commitment in the 2019 class.

Payton is ranked the No. 29 overall junior-college prospect and No. 3 juco wide receiver in the industry-generated 247Sports Composite for the 2019 class.

He’s also ranked by 247Sports as the No. 17 overall junior-college prospect and No. 2 juco receiver in the 2019 class.
