Spencer Alvarez is a big, in-state developmental OL with upside
Spencer Alvarez, a 6-foot-6, 290-pound offensive lineman from Columbia Heights, is a Minnesota-grown project with real frame appeal and multi-year runway, entering the 2025 season with two years of eligibility left. In the 2024 season, he did not see game action, so the story here is less about box-score production and more about traits: size, developmental value, and the chance to grow into a reliable interior or tackle option for the Gophers. If a team wants a long-term lineman who can be molded, he fits the bill; if it needs immediate impact, he’s more of a future swing than a plug-and-play answer.
