Christopher Clarks Spencer[1] (born March 28, 1982, in Madison, Mississippi) is an American football center for the Seattle Seahawks of the National Football League. He was selected with the 26th overall pick in the first round of the 2005 NFL Draft out of the University of Mississippi. In 2006 he married Coastal Carolina Elite volleyball player Katherine Jensen.
Spencer was part of the nationally ranked and undefeated Madison Central Jaguar football team in 2000, which contained 5 current NFL players. After his prep career, he was one of the most highly-touted offensive line recruits in the Southeast. His home ties led him to choose the University of Mississippi, where he would play alongside Madison Central teammates Doug Buckles and Mike Espy (of the Washington Redskins). During the 2003 season, the Ole Miss Rebels had an impressive campaign, winning 10 games with a bowl victory over Oklahoma State in the Cotton Bowl.
In his first season with the Seattle Seahawks, he played 7 games. In the 2006 season, he played in all 16 games for Seattle, starting 13 of them, most at the guard position, next to longtime Seattle center Robbie Tobeck. Spencer is the successor of Tobeck's job in the 2007 season as Tobeck retired at the end of 2006.
