Looks like 270 at best IMO... but his motor seems to run high if non stop.. those are the type of players I'd like as our backups.. they should always have a place like that on the team... EFFORT alone will result into BIG PLAY !!

I'm still mad we didn't make a run to sign then ex-Saints (Hendrickson).. grrrrr

I don't think he played anywhere near 300. NDSU had him listed at 280 and i wouldn't be surprised if he was a little lighter than that. He clearly hit the pre-draft workout regimen hard. He does have the body to hold that weight and he still moves really well at that size clearly.

Ok that makes sense. Buffed out 270 is delightful for udfa. Love to see more.

He reminds me a lot of Henry Anderson back when he was at Stanford, a natural fit as a 3-4 DE.
Idk Jack about this guy but I'm rooting for him. I love the underdogs.

seems super quick and a nice burst

Why can't this guy play inside on passing downs. His quickness inside is going to be a nightmare for centers and guards.
Definitely a guy to keep an eye on.

I'm excited to see if we've picked up another gem of a player.
I definitely want this guy and hopefully Fisher to make the team. Just take the places of Bryant and Moore


Good insight on SW from coach K.

Edit: Spencer is supposedly at 290 pounds now. Pretty close to 300

Textbook system fit. Love to hear he's having a strong camp so far. Fantastic athletic profile for a 290 pound DT and based on that video from Kocurek, has the football IQ and great intelligence to excel there. Love the depth we picked up here. Not expecting him to be a superstar, but DT was an area we needed some quality insurance at. Eager to see how he does in the pre-season.
