Marcus Spears Jr., Son of ESPN Analyst, Named No. 1 Hoops Prospect in Class of 2027
Posted Aug 14, 2025
ESPN announced the new No. 1 men's basketball prospect in its recruiting class of 2027 on Thursday, with Marcus Spears Jr. earning that honor. His name may sound familiar, because he is the son of ESPN NFL analyst Marcus Spears. Both of Spears Jr.'s parents were standout basketball players in their own rights, too.
