Newton started his career on a high note with the Carolina Panthers after signing a four-year contract in 2011 which was worth more than $22 million. Within the same year, Newton’s talent ranked him as the number one quarterback by “.” In 2009, Newton transferred to Blinn College in Texas and joined their football team, which he led to the NJCAA National Football Championship. During his sophomore season in 2008, the team played against the Hawaii Warriors football team where he thereafter suffered from an ankle injury. During his freshman year, he joined the Florida Gators, football team. After passing for 2,500 yards and 23 touchdowns, and 638 yards and nine touchdowns, he gained recognition from several college programs.
Newton was only 16 years old when he began showing exceptional skills on the football field. At the beginning of high school, at Westlake High, Newton played baseball and basketball. Newton’s two younger brothers played football for the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Howard Bison football teams in their high school careers. His father, also involved in the football industry, was on the 1983 Dallas Cowboys and the 1984 Buffalo Bills and ensured that Newton and his brothers participated in sports during their childhood. Born in Atlanta on May 11, 1989, he is one of Jackie and Cecil Newton Sr.’s three sons. Of course, Pikiell has a top-notch shooter of his own, from Connecticut, joining his program this season in freshman Gavin Griffiths of Simsbury.Cameron Jerrell Newton, commonly known as just Cam Newton, was destined to be a football star since childhood. Spencer is a nice coupe for UConn, swiping him from under former UConn player and assistant coach Steve Pikiell's nose. He hit more 3-pointers (72) than any Rutgers player since Mike Rosario hit 74 in 2008-09, and his 43.4-percent clip was the highest of any Scarlet Knight player in a decade. He hit a game-winning 3-pointer against top-ranked Purdue last season, as well as a go-ahead try on the road against Northwestern. Spencer also has a knack for clutch shots. But with the addition of Spencer, along with the returns of Tristen Newton and Alex Karaban and possible contributions from some of the program’s highly-ranked recruiting class, UConn should boast a formidable perimeter presence again.
The Huskies lost a host of 3-point shooting from their national-title team, including possible NBA Draft lottery pick Jordan Hawkins and Calcaterra. While Joey Calcaterra (the aforementioned “Joey California”) was a big boost to the national-champion Huskies this past season in his lone season as a grad transfer from San Diego, Spencer projects to be an even bigger addition. He entered the transfer portal about a week after the 60-day window closed last month, able to do so because he is a graduate. He had spent his first three seasons at Loyola (Md.), where he averaged 18.9 ppg as a junior in 2021-22.Ī Davidsonville, Maryland native, Spencer has one final season of eligibility. Spencer shot 43.4-percent from 3-point range last season and led the Scarlet Knights in scoring (13.2 points per game) in his first season with the program.
