In 2025, Spencer broke additional records, finishing with 3,391 passing yards (program single-season high) and guiding Keiser to another national title game appearance against Grand View, where he threw for 290 yards in the 22-16 loss.[7] In the semifinals, he accounted for five touchdowns (passing and rushing) in a comeback win over College of Idaho.[8] He earned first-team All-Sun Conference honors in 2025.[9]
