Playing career

College

In his freshman season at Saint Leo in 2007, Glenn scored 14 goals in 13 matches, ranking fourth in NCAA Division II in goals per match. He received the Sunshine State Conference Freshman of the Year award, and was named a Second Team All-SSC selection, and along with a National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA)/Adidas All-South Region Second Team award. [2] In 2008, following his sophomore season, he again received Second Team All-SCC [3] and NSCAA/Adidas All-South Region Second Team honours. [4] After scoring 9 goals in 15 games in his junior season, including his first career hat trick in a game against Georgia Southwestern State University, [5] Glenn once again was named to the All-SSC Second Team, and to the Daktronics NCAA Division II All-South Region Second Team. [6] Glenn finished his career at Saint Leo in 2010, and in his senior season he was named to the SSC All-Conference Team, and to the CoSIDA Academic All-District Team. [1] In total, he scored 41 goals across 57 matches in his college career, which was then fifth highest in Saint Leo history. [7]

Club

Glenn began his club career while still at Saint Leo in 2008 with the Panama City Beach Pirates of the USL Premier Development League, [1] where he played in 5 matches without scoring a goal. [8] He returned to the PDL in 2010, playing for the Vermont Voltage, scoring 5 goals in 20 matches across his two seasons with the club. [9] He then moved to Jacksonville United FC of the National Premier Soccer League, where he was named to the All-Conference team in the Sunshine Conference in 2012. [1]

In February 2014, Glenn moved to Iceland, when he signed for ÍBV of the Úrvalsdeild. [7] He had a successful first season in Iceland, scoring 12 goals in 20 matches, second-most in the league. [10] He received ÍBV's Golden Boot, along with the club's Player of the Year award. [10] [11]
