Veteran, 6'2" run-stopper with SEC-tested pedigree
Spencer Rich is a sixth-year UTRGV linebacker whose value comes from experience, size, and special-teams/defensive versatility more than current box-score production, since UTRGV lists no 2026 stats for him and his recent college stops show limited game action. He brings a strong résumé from Brentwood High School—120 tackles, 9.5 sacks, four interceptions, and multiple defensive honors—and has been recognized academically at the college level, which suggests reliability and discipline. For a team, he profiles as a mature, physical depth piece who can stabilize the room and compete in a scheme that rewards instinct and effort.[1][5]
