proven tackle machine and veteran leader for Richmond’s defense
Glassmyer entered 2026 as one of Richmond’s most reliable defensive anchors, after leading the Spiders with 87 tackles in 2024 and following that with 82 tackles in 2025 while earning All-conference recognition and preseason All-America notice. He stands out for his range, production versus the run and pass, and knack for impact plays — sacks, tackles for loss, takeaways, and pass breakups — rather than just piling up stops. Add in his captaincy, two-way leadership, and award-level consistency, and he profiles as a high-floor fit for a defense that wants toughness, intelligence, and steady sideline-to-sideline play.[9][14]
