Anthony E. Spencer II (born January 23, 1984) is an American football outside linebacker who is currently a free agent. He played college football for Purdue University. He was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys 26th overall in the 2007 NFL Draft.
Spencer played high school football at Bishop Luers High School in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Spencer was a 3-year starter playing nose guard and full back. At fullback, he dominated in the backfield and ran for more than 600 yards, averaging a solid 9.1 yards per carry. By the time Spencer was through, he ended his high school career by setting team records in tackles and sacks. A diverse athlete, Anthony lettered in both football and basketball, and this helped him get accepted to Purdue University.

He was named the Indianapolis Star's Defensive Lineman of the Year as a senior, when his team went undefeated and won the 2002 Class 2A state championship.
