The hope for UNT is that the parallels between the two will continue sometime in the next few days during the NFL draft. Spencer began a his five-year NFL career after being selected in the sixth round of the 2004 draft.

UNT has been waiting for its next player to be selected in the draft ever since.

We have some pretty good history at LB position. History seems to suggest that if you finish your career in the top-5, you're doing something right and will get an NFL shot.
