Mid Valley Spotlight: Monrovia’s Octavius Spencer

Monrovia’s Octavius Spencer

Octavius Spencer S/WR Monrovia: #4 6-1, 165, Senior

Several local coaches have already told me this summer that Spencer will be the best receiver in the valley in 2014. Athletic and long, Spencer can glide under the long ball as well as turn a quick out into six points in a heartbeat. Last year in Monrovia’s run oriented offense, Spencer caught eight passes for 126 yards and a touchdown and averaged over 15 yards a catch. He’s also a ballhawk  on defense and will patrol the secondary from his safety position. Opposing quarterbacks beware of tossing up ducks because Spencer will be there to swallow them up. “He hasn’t even scratched the surface yet,” said one area coach. We’ll see how far he has come this fall.
