🕊️ Remembering Gregg Glenn III

Tulane University is mourning the heartbreaking loss of one of its brightest stars, Gregg Glenn III, who passed away over the weekend at just 22 years old.

The university confirmed the devastating news in a statement released on Monday.

🏀 A Talented Athlete With A Big Heart

Gregg Glenn III, a standout forward for the Tulane Green Wave, transferred from Michigan in 2023 and quickly became a cornerstone of the team.

During his junior season, he started all 34 games and averaged 10.6 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 3.1 assists.

Originally from Pompano Beach, Florida, Gregg brought more than athleticism to the court—he brought leadership, humility, and a genuine love for the game.

He was preparing to enter his senior season at Tulane, where he had become a beloved presence both on and off the court.
