Thanks to our good friends at Kroger, we’re back on the Hometown Community Tour. Today we’re taking our talents across the river to speak with William “Woo” Spencer, a Louisville native who’s completing his career in Southern Indiana as a New Albany Bulldog.

Woo Spencer is a two-way athlete in the trenches. He makes plays on the defensive line, but offensive guard is his calling at the next level. Spencer started his prep career at Male High School, playing in two 6A State Championship Games before his family moved to New Albany and he transferred schools. A top 500 prospect, he’s the fifth-ranked player in the state of Indiana according to the On3 Consensus.

Spencer has more than a half dozen offers, primarily from the Power Five. Kentucky and Louisville are in the mix. Spencer shared with KSR where he got the nickname “Woo,” and that blue is his favorite color. Interesting… Here’s what Spencer said it’s like to get recruited by Vince Marrow:

“It’s like I’m chatting with a big brother, for real. He’s like family.”

Woo Spencer is taking his game to the next level for his final high school season to prove to Power Five programs that he’s worth a scholarship. Spencer lost more than 50 pounds this offseason working out with Chris Vaughn at Aspirations Gym, home base for a number of Kentucky football players, like Wan’Dale Robinson, Izayah Cummings and Kiyaunta Goodwin. Hear more from a guy who could be the next in line.
