Spurlock aided in the development of the wide receivers at Ole Miss, including WR Elijah Moore, who was selected by the N.Y. Jets in the second round (No. 34 overall) of the 2021 NFL Draft. As a junior in 2020, Moore earned consensus All-America honors after ranking No. 2 in the country in both receptions (school-record 86) and receiving yards (1,193) despite playing in just eight games. In 2021, Spurlock helped guide another 1,000-yard receiver in WR Dontario Drummond, who posted 76 receptions for 1,028 yards (13.5 avg.) and eight TDs. Ole Miss ranked No. 6 in the nation and No. 1 in the SEC in 2021 with an average of 492.5 yards per game, finishing the season with a 10-3 record as it earned a berth in the Sugar Bowl.

Spurlock spent the previous two seasons (2018-19) at Southeastern Louisiana University, coaching the wide receivers both seasons and also serving as the special teams coordinator in 2018. Spurlock tutored WR Juwan Petit-Frere, who earned second-team FCS All-America honors in 2018 as an all-purpose player as well as All-Southland Conference recognition at all-purpose, kick returner and wide receiver. Petit-Frere led the conference in both all-purpose yards per game (128.8) and kickoff return average (26.2) in 2018. PR Devonte Williams and K Jonathan Tatum also earned All-Southland Conference honors under Spurlock's guidance in 2018.

Spurlock also coached at the collegiate level at the University of Texas-San Antonio (special teams quality control/linebacker assistant in 2017) and Coahoma Community College in Clarksdale, Miss. (running backs coach/special teams coordinator in early 2016). He spent the 2016 season with the Dallas Cowboys as a special teams assistant/defensive backs assistant. Spurlock also served as an assistant football coach at Philadelphia (Miss.) High School in 2015.

Spurlock played wide receiver for eight seasons in the NFL, appearing in a total of 68 games with two starts for the Arizona Cardinals (2006), Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2007, 2009-11), San Francisco 49ers (2009), San Diego Chargers (2012), Jacksonville Jaguars (2012), Detroit Lions (2013), Dallas Cowboys (2013) and Chicago Bears (2014). In 2007, he became the first player in franchise history to return a kickoff for a TD for the Buccaneers in a regular-season game (90-yarder vs. Atlanta in Week 15). In 2012 with the Chargers, he became just the third player in franchise history (Andre Coleman, 1995; Darren Sproles, 2007) to return both a punt and a kickoff for TDs in the same season. For his career, Spurlock posted a 24.2-yard average with three TDs on 107 career kickoff returns and a 9.6-yard average with two TDs on 81 punt returns. He was one of only five NFL players to post two-plus punt return TDs and three-plus kickoff return TDs from 2006-14.

Spurlock made the transition to wide receiver in the NFL after playing quarterback in college at Ole Miss (2002-05). He appeared in 11 games with eight starts as a senior in 2005 (seven at QB, one at RB) and completed 142 of 267 passes (53.2 pct.) for 1,709 yards and seven TDs.

Spurlock was born on January 31, 1983, in Indianola, Miss. He and his wife, Danielle, have four daughters, Elandria, Giselle, Macie and Payton, and two sons, Micheal Jr. and Micheal.
