Earl, an infielder/pitcher from Cottonwood, Arizona, batted .376 as a senior at Mingus Union High School. In 32 games, he registered seven doubles, one triple, six home runs, five stolen bases, and 30 runs scored. For his efforts, Earl was an All-Region Honorable Mention selection.

"We are encouraged by Spenser’s decision to attend MVNU,” said MVNU head coach Keith Veale, who has posted a 602-289 record in 18 seasons at the helm of the Cougars. "He has made a significant effort to visit here on a couple of occasions in spite of the distance involved. We always want guys who want to be here.”

"On the field, Spenser has had some very competitive experiences that will assist him in making the transition to collegiate baseball,” Veale added. "Offensively, he has some pop in his bat and a solid approach to hitting the baseball. He will add some infield competition to our team, and we are excited to work towards his development as a player and as a person.”

In addition to playing baseball at Mingus Union, Earl has participated in the Northern Arizona Baseball Academy and Coast to Coast Baseball in Puerto Rico.

"There are several reasons why I chose MVNU,” said Earl of his college choice. "First of all, it’s a Christian school. MVNU also has a great baseball program, which was another plus for me.”

MVNU is an NAIA school that competes in the American Mideast Conference. The Cougars captured a share of the AMC South Division title in 2007 - the program’s 12th conference title - and advanced to the NAIA Region IX Tournament championship game for the eighth straight year as the team finished with a 38-16 overall mark. Over the years, MVNU has had 13 players drafted by Major League teams including Tim Belcher, who was the top pick overall in the 1983 draft. Six other former players have signed free agent contracts to play professional baseball.
