Brad Spence brings Texas a disruptive, high-motor linebacker with edge upside
Spence is a former Arkansas starter who transferred to Texas and has already shown he can produce in volume, posting 54 tackles and 4.5 sacks in the 2024 season before adding 21 tackles, 6 tackles for loss, and 3 sacks in 2025. What makes him interesting is the blend of linebacker instincts and edge pressure ability: he can chase plays, finish in the backfield, and fit multiple fronts. Texas lists him as an EDGE, and that versatility makes him a useful fit for a defense that wants an active, physical, scheme-flexible defender.
