    - Cole Spencer (OL) in the transfer portal

    - Western Kentucky, 45 starts, several C-USA honors, Mason Brooks' teammate 

    - breakdown from your favorite 247 analyst, below (it's interesting)

    Transfer portal spotlight: Scouting veteran OL Cole Spencer
    BLAKE BROCKERMEYER


    Transfer left tackle Cole Spencer (6-foot-4, 300 pounds) is an experienced, multi-year starter with 45 starts at Western Kentucky. Despite lacking ideal Power Five size and length, Spencer is an excellent pass-protector who has the experience that will make him a very valuable portal prospect. You don’t see guys with 45 starts looking to transfer all that much, but Spencer became one of the few who fits the description upon entering the portal on February 14.

    Spencer was voted first-team All-Conference USA in 2021. The 247Sports transfer rankings team has given Spencer a rating of 89. I think he’s a plug-and-play left tackle in the right college system with future NFL ability and wouldn’t be surprised if his future at the next level is as a center.

    Western Kentucky in 2021 ran a high-tempo run-and-shoot type offense (and I wonder if Spencer would be following former OC Zach Kittley to Texas Tech). Spencer’s strengths are his athleticism, which he pairs with good technique and great feet. He is more of a grabber than a puncher in protection but will two-hand punch a bit against edge rushers that use their hands. Spencer does a nice job of running the edge around the corner, letting his quarterback step up in the pocket. He plays hard and plays through the end of every play.

    Spencer’s weakness is there’s no proof of physicality at the point of contact because of the style of offense he’s been in. He is not a road-grader as a run blocker but does a nice job of getting his body in the right position and getting up to the second level when asked. Spencer struggles some at getting knocked back in the pocket on power rushes as he turns his shoulders a little early. Training this shoulder force is something he can improve on by training one more kick and staying square on the angle.

    Overall, Spencer is a great fit and get for anyone with his experience and skills but would be best suited to play in a similar up-tempo offense. I think he will likely wind up as an offensive tackle at his next stop unless he tries to level up a few notches in competition. As I mentioned earlier, he’s a guy who could get moved to center at the NFL level.

     

     

    Spencer doesn’t seem to fit the profile of what Flood is looking for.

    There's probably a better way of giving money to Bijan, than buying $100 jerseys, where Nike probably gets $70, UT get $25, and Bijan gets $5.

    It’d be interesting to know the percentages. But I bet these kids will get more out if it just knowing that people are buying their “brand” and think it’s cool to see people wearing their swag.  (Did I use that word in proper context?)
