Spangler closed out his prep career with a third-place finish at 171 pounds in the Illinois high school state tournament in February. He pinned two opponents and registered a major decision en route to the third-place finish while wrestling. He finished his senior season with a 44-1 record and was selected to wrestle for Team USA at the Dapper Dan Wrestling Classic against a squad of Pennsylvania grapplers.
