Spears Jr. is a 6-foot-7 athlete from Plano, Texas. National analyst Brandon Jenkins praised the power forward while discussing the best performers over the weekend at the tournament from the 2027 class.

"While he immediately passes the eye test, there is a lot to be excited about when considering his competitive fabric," Jenkins wrote on 247Sports. "He undeniably will need to add strength as his career progresses but his intangibles and activity level make him one of the better prospects in the Texas 2027 class."

Isaiah Santos, Charles Pur, Scottie Adkinson and Solomon Bratton, among others, were also included in Jenkins' list of best performers over the weekend.
