While Townsend is widely considered to be one of the most talented offensive players in Bishop history, the same can be said about D-lineman Quinderra Spellman on the opposite side of the ball. A native of Elizabeth City, N.C., Spellman made a name for himself as a defensive force in the USA South over the course of his career from 2005 to 2008. At the completion of his senior season, he held the game (3.0), season (7.5) and career (14.0) records for quarterback sacks while ranking second with 32.5 career tackles-for-loss. He was the first Bishop in history to call himself a four-time All-Conference performer, and of his four league honors, three were First Team nods.

The 2005 USA South Defensive Rookie of the Year and a 2008 All-Region selection, Spellman was named Wesleyan's 2008 Defensive Most Valuable Player as a senior. Upon graduation, he entered the coaching ranks and joined his alma mater on the sidelines in 2010, helping the Bishops secure their third USA South title that same season. Spellman is currently in his 10th season on the Battling Bishop coaching staff and serves as Assistant Head Coach while guiding the defensive line. 

Like Townsend, Spellman received his bachelor's degree in Exercise Science in the spring of 2009. Most recently, he was honored to receive Wesleyan's 2017 Alumni Achievement Award -- an award given to an NCWC graduate within the past ten years who has already made significant contributions in society.

In addition to his coaching duties, Spellman also serves as Director of the Shelton Leadership Challenge, a week-long camp that is based off of General Shelton's values-based leadership principles.
