Stocky and well-proportioned at 6-5, 325 pounds, Spindler has played right guard primarily through his career at Notre Dame. Plays lower than expected for his size, does a good job playing with consistent leverage. Physicality over finesse is the name of his game.
Wrestling background shows up as a run blocker. Always looking for work and engages in blocks through the whistle. Moves well in open space. Violent puller, climbs to second level efficiently. Impressive overall body strength, but initial punch is just average.
Quickness off the ball could improve, he can lose ground to quicker defensive linemen, but typically does a good job anchoring down, even when beat off the line of scrimmage.
Could improve counters to defenders that utilize speed-to-power rush moves. Technically sound in most elements of his game. Not necessarily nimble, but well-balanced in his pass set and mirrors defenders well. Could potentially afford to lean down and improve athleticism, likely best sticking at right guard.
Technically sound after years of development in Notre Dame’s scheme, but should benefit from learning Donovan Raiola’s coaching style.
