Minnesota men's basketball adds RJ Spencer (Blaine, Minn.) to the Golden Gopher roster. Spencer, a walk-on, joins the program this season and will graduate from Minnesota in May of 2026.

Spencer, a 6-foot, 3-inch guard, played at Totino Grace and with the NorthStar Titans AAU basketball team. A team captain, Spencer led the Eagles to a state championship in 2022. Along with his ability on the court, Spencer was also the captain of the football team as a wide receiver, and he also played golf.

Off the court, Spencer is the son of Heather and Ryan Spencer and graduated from Totino Grace in 2022. He is a double major in biology and communications at the University of Minnesota.

Spencer replaces Erick Reader on the Gopher roster, who has decided to focus on his academic career at the University of Minnesota. Gopher men's basketball would like to thank Erick for all his contributions to the program.

Go Gophers!!

I thought walk-ons were no longer allowed?

I thought so to but from what I read the roster is limited to 15 players. They can be walkons or scholarship players.

But I thought we already had 15?

We did, and because Reader left, that should hold us at 15 I believe
