Fans believe this particular line teases Spencer and Olivia’s break up

Senior year is finally here! Spencer has fully committed to Toledo State University. In All American Season 3, he received a full-ride football scholarship. While Spencer is still recovering from the shooting, the football coach wants him to start training in the Spring. That means he must leave South Crenshaw High before graduation.

In the teaser, Grace (Karimah Westbrook) asks Spencer if he’s “ready” to leave for college. Spencer later responds, “It’s the right step, Mom.” So, that gives Spencer two weeks to say goodbye to close friends and family. Spencer tells Olivia that his sudden departure “changes” their senior year plans. The next scene cuts to the couple standing outside of a car. Olivia proceeds to say, “Can we talk?” This particular line led fans to question the couple’s future. If Spencer is leaving LA, what does this mean for their relationship? 

Is Spencer James leaving South Crenshaw in ‘All American’ Season 4?

While the question remains unanswered, some fans don’t want to see the couple split. “I hope the writers don’t interfere with Spelivia. I think Spencer and Liv are perfectly capable of balancing their relationship no matter where Spencer goes. Their love always rises on top,” one fan wrote on Youtube. 

Meanwhile, one fan speculated Spencer might not go to Toledo State. “I have a feeling he doesn’t go to Toledo state, the real Spencer (Paysinger) ended up at Oregon, and it’s possible that happens here, better school and closer to home, but we will see,” the person wrote. 

Since the show is based on former NFL player Spencer Paysinger, some fans believe the show will follow his real-life story. Paysinger played for the Oregon Ducks football team at the University of Oregon. So, it’s possible that the Spencer in All American might choose another path.

What should ‘All American’ fans expect in episode 3?
