Free plays are always nice! Especially when Spencer makes this sweet catch along the sidelines ... kid's having a day in Houston!

With the additions of Spencer and Western Michigan wide receiver Corey Crooms via the transfer portal, the Gophers have effectively bolstered their wide receiver corps for next season. Crooms is expected to draw the majority of the snaps at slot receiver, and Spencer will be competing for snaps on the outside with Daniel Jackson, Dylan Wright, and Chris Autman-Bell, who applied for a medical redshirt and plans to return next season.
