ESN PLAYER EVALUATION/NOTES
2018-2019 All-Oakland County, All-League OAA Red. Division 1 State Finalist. 1st Team All-Detroit North. Rocco is one of the top overall prospects in the 2021 recruiting class in Michigan and nationally. He is the son of Marc Spindler, a 9-year NFL player for the Detroit Lions. Rocco is a 3-year starter as a left tackle and defensive tackle. He has the size and athletic ability and he has proven on the field he is an elite player on both sides of the ball early in his high school career. As an OT, he has the footwork to stay in front of pass rushers and the strength to stop them in their tracks. As a run blocker, he is mobile and can make some big holes to help in the run game. As a DT, he is the anchor inside that can move down the line and make plays. He just needs to get stronger and improve technique. He is a potential 5-star national recruit.

Stats: Helped Clarkston rush for 2,823 yards this season in 14 games.

Started varsity as a LT on offense and rotated in at DT on defense as a freshman. All-County Wrestler. Clarkston coach Kurt Richardson: “Started every game since his freshman year on both sides of the ball. He’s been the kid that we run behind. He really had his best games during the playoffs.”
