Glenn. It), a wulk-on from
Clear ('reek High School in
League City, was pronounced
dead at 4:20 p m. at Humana
Hospital-Brazos Valley, said
Alan Gannon, Texas A&M's
s|Mirts information director
"Words cannot describe the
pain and sorrow felt by the
football team, coaching staff
and the entire Texas A8tM fami
ly at the loss of this fine young
man," coach KG. Slocum said.
"His family is In our thoughts
and prayers.”
Gannon said Glenn, 5-feet-ll
and 167 pounds, was "just
loosening up" before practice
when he collapsed.
Coaches notified the univer
sity's health center and workers
began administering cardiopul
monary resuscitation until an
ambulance arrived.
"James received immediate
attention from the Texas A&M
training staff," Dr. Jesse Karr, a
team physician, said
"They were performing GI’R
just as sixui as the young man
dropped. Once ho was in the
ambulant*, they continued try
ing to revive him. Hut he never
regained const iousnessCan
non said.
Cannon said them was no in
dication that there was any
drug use involved.
"The young man was one of
the finest young men. He was a
fine young man and there was
never any Indication that he
would use drugs,” Cannon
said.
An autopsy will bo per
formed to determine the cause
of death, he said.
"James was u super young
man," kicking coach John
Pearce said. "His high school
coach called us and told us he
was an outstanding person, as
well as an outstanding athlete.
Hu was correct. James was a
dedicated young man who set
his goals and worked hard to
achieve those goals. One of
those goals was to kick for Tex
as A&M."
Glenn had kicked off three
times last week against Tulsa,
but had not attempted a field
goal or extra point.
Most of the players hadn't yet
reached the field Wednesday
when Glenn was taken to the
hospital. Slocum canceled
practice for the day, but the Ag
gies (1-1) arc expected to play
Saturday's game against South
western Louisiana as sched
uled.
