Bio
Isaiah Spiller was on the devy radar well before he was putting up 1,000-yard seasons at Texas A&M. At Klein Collins High School in Spring, Texas, Spiller ran for 3,587 yards and 53 touchdowns—nearly 1,500 of those yards and 20 touchdowns came in his senior season. It was enough to earn Division 1/5-6A Offensive MVP for the second consecutive season and four-star recruiting status. Spiller received 20 offers from a number of schools, including Oklahoma where he originally committed to in 2017. However, about six months later, Spiller changed course and decided to follow in his father’s footsteps (Fred Spiller played tight end for the Aggies) and committed to Texas A&M instead.
Spiller impressed from the beginning—rushing for over 100 yards in his Aggies debut. He finished his freshman season with 946 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns and earned freshman All-American honors. His 2020 campaign was even better as he was third in the SEC with 1,036 rushing yards. He ran for nine touchdowns and caught 20 passes. Spiller was named first-team All-SEC and was a semifinalist for the Doak and Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Awards.
In his final season at Texas A&M, Spiller split time with sophomore running back Devon Achane. Still, Spiller managed to run for 1,011 yards and six touchdowns and added another 189 yards and a score on 25 receptions.

Bottom Line:
Spiller is your traditional north/south power back who wins with size and lower-body strength. While breaking off long runs will likely be rare for him at the NFL level, he has the patience and vision to take full advantage of the opportunities in front of him. Spiller is a big, durable back who will easily handle 20-plus carries in any given game. He’s skilled-enough in the passing game to warrant third-down usage as well. He displayed good hands at Texas A&M and had more than 20 receptions in all three seasons despite a limited route tree.
