Traylyn Spencer leads the way both on and off the court.
Traylyn a 6’7″ SF/PF at O. D. Wyatt H.S. past, present and future says he is leading. We at Texasboysbasketball.com are taking a look at why and where Spencer goes from here and how he got to this point. The 2018 signee has worked his way through the classroom, three grassroot seasons and is beginning his third season on varsity. Spencer has sealed his verbal commitment to University of Arkansas at Little Rock as UALR is a competitive member of the NCAA division one Sun Belt League where the league RPI was in the top twelve of the (34) division one leagues in the country. ULAR is a huge opportunity for Spencer and from time to time, stable D1 programs have the opportunity to bring in a prospect with this kind of upside and potential on and off the court.
Traylyn has the responsibility to lead as shown here with his four younger siblings. Being a senior, a three year varsity starter, holding a 950 verbal/math SAT score with 3.0 gpa and now the first D1 signee for fourth year head coach Demarqus James who is in his first high school job, Traylyn epitomizes the words first, pioneer, and leader as he has demonstrated with his body of work that he is up to the task.
Basketball is huge vehicle for Spencer but he loves the game as he expresses on dead balls with his contagious smile. The 6’7″ versatile forward said,”On defense I am most comfortable from the basket to 15 ft out with opportunities to rebound and block/contest shots/steal the ball. Then I love when it is time to run to the other end with more opportunities.”
Spencer is active 4/3 forward with good length who has proven he can and does affect the game in a positive way on both ends. The Sun Belt league allows the appropriate level for Spencer to develop and potentially shine at the national D1 level. There is a huge opportunity for Spencer, in my (Alan Branch) opinion we will get a good look this 2017-18 season where pre-season top 15 O. D. Wyatt will be in pursuit to a deep playoff run.
