Veteran WKU road-grader Cole Spencer brings 44 starts and proven toughness
Cole Spencer is the kind of veteran offensive lineman coaches trust because he’s seen everything, started everywhere, and kept coming back after injuries; at Western Kentucky he logged 44 starts over five seasons and earned 2021 All-Conference USA First Team honors, then showed versatility by moving inside at Texas Tech. The big selling point is reliability: he’s a 6-foot-4, 300-pound tone-setter with real experience, strong technique, and a reputation as a steady, high-floor fit for a team needing mature line play rather than splashy upside.
