Spindler spent the last four seasons at Notre Dame. During the Irish’s run through the College Football Playoff to the national title game, he started against Indiana, Georgia, Penn State, and Ohio State.

After redshirting in 2021, Spindler played mostly on special teams the next season. In 2023, he played in 10 games after earning the starting right guard spot in fall camp.
