Spence will join Montreal at the conclusion of the postseason, ahead of the 2026 CFL season.

In his lone season with the Dukes, Spence was named a 2024 Football Writers Association of America Second Team All-American and a College Football Network Third Team All-American after tying for the Sun Belt lead and ranking in the top five nationally in interceptions (5).

Spence had one pick-six while also tallying 38 tackles, a half tackle for loss, one forced fumble, seven breakups and a pair of blocked kicks.

He was additionally selected as JMU’s first semifinalist for the Paycom Jim Thorpe Award and was a First Team All-Sun Belt defensive back.
