Glenn's Ohio State career per The Ohio State Team Guide:

Anyone who saw Terry Glenn play would never know that he has a fear of flying. Glenn repeatedly rose to new heights during the 1995 campaign, gracefully soaring through the air to gather in one clutch reception after another in a record-breaking year that resulted in the 5-11, 185-pound flanker becoming the school’s first-ever recipient of the Fred Biletnikoff Award.

Glenn finished the season with 64 receptions for 1,411 yards and 17 touchdowns, third-best in school history. His touchdown total is still a school record but his yardage record was topped by David Boston’s 1,435 yards in 1998.

Glenn, who had just 15 career receptions for 266 yards and no TDs entering the 1995 campaign, led the nation in yards per catch, was fourth nationally in yards per game and eighth nationally in scoring in 1995, his final year as a Buckeye.

In addition to winning the Biletnikoff Award, Glenn, a native of Columbus and a product of Brookhaven High School, followed Cris Carter as just the second wide receiver in Ohio State history to win first-team All-America honors.

Glenn caught nine passes for 253 yards and four touchdowns at Pitt, shattering the school records for single-game receiving yardage and tying the mark for TD catches. The Pitt game was one of seven 100-yard games for Glenn, another OSU record.

At the end of the season, Glenn opted to leave school and was taken in the first round of the 1996 NFL draft by the New England Patriots. He set an NFL record for catches (90) by a rookie, helping the Patriots to the Super Bowl in a sensational first year and had 8,823 yards and 44 touchdowns in his 12-year career.

Honors

1995 All-American.

83 Kids Foundation

As a child, Glenn was a foster child. When he completed his playing career, he focused his energy on his 83 Kids Foundation. Glenn stated: 

We, as humans, need that unconditional love that really is an unspoken feeling that hovers over a loving family. That was the thing that I missed most. Since we, as humans, are going to make "mistakes", we need that safety blanket of a loving family that won't judge you and will be there for you when the chips are down.
