Biography
Marcus Spears Jr. is a forward on the University of Texas men's basketball roster for the 2026–27 season. Texas lists him as a freshman from Frisco, Texas, and identifies Dynamic Prep as his previous school.
Texas announced on July 10, 2026, that Spears had signed an Athletic Scholarship Agreement and would join the program for the 2026–27 season after reclassifying from the 2027 recruiting class. The school's signing release lists him at 6'10" and 210 pounds; the current roster lists 6'9" and 206 pounds. This site uses the current roster figures above and preserves the difference rather than treating the measurements as interchangeable.
Before Texas, Spears played his junior season at Dynamic Prep. The Texas signing announcement reports that he averaged 15.1 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 2.4 blocks per game that season, and MaxPreps' 2025–26 statistical ledger displays the same three averages.
Spears also represented the United States at the 2025 FIBA U16 Men's AmeriCup. FIBA's event record shows six games and averages of 14.0 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 2.0 steals, and 1.8 blocks. The United States won the tournament, and FIBA selected Spears to its All-Star Five.
