Listed Measurements: 6-foot-3 u215d, 295 pounds.
2019-20 year, eligibility: An early-enrolled freshman, Spears has all four seasons of eligibility remaining, including 2019.
Depth chart: At any other position, Spears would have no chance at playing in 2019 due to his own injury issues (more on those later), but Notre Dame will take any contributions it can get at defensive tackle, meaning Spears may chip in a few snaps later in the season (if healthy), despite being third on the depth chart at the three-technique tackle behind junior Myron Tagovailoa-Amosa and sophomore Jayson Ademilola.
