In a program that has had nine different players win WVIAC Defensive Player of the Year, Spradling was the sixth winner at the conclusion of the 1990 season. During his final three seasons as a Mountain Lion, he was an All-WVIAC First Team honoree, and his career culminated by being selected as a NAIA Second Team All-American in 1992. Spradling was an integral part of two WVIAC Championships for Concord in 1989 and 1990 as he led CU to being the best defense in the WVIAC in 1990, allowing just 306.7 yards per game. Spradling was part of 28 wins during his career as the Mountain Lions only lost three conference games during his four years in the Maroon and Gray. Spradling went over 100 tackles in a single season twice—1990 and 1992—as he accumulated 316 career tackles, sixth in program history.
