Tulane basketball player Gregg Glenn III, a former Michigan transfer, dies unexpectedly
Glenn, 22, of Pompano Beach, Florida, 'died in a tragic accident this weekend,' Tulane vice president of student affairs Sarah Cunningham wrote in a letter to the Tulane community on Monday.
Glenn "was a talented student-athlete who enriched our lives with his spirit, dedication and passion for both sports and academics,' Cunningham's letter stated. 'Gregg was an outstanding athlete on our men's basketball team and an individual who brought joy and light to those around him. ... Let us remember Gregg not just for his achievements in sports, but for the kindness and warmth he shared with everyone.'
The 6-foot-7 Glenn transferred from Michigan after playing four games for the Wolverines as a freshman.
As a junior last season, he started all 34 games for the Green Wave, averaging 10.6 points and 5.3 rebounds. He was on track to return to Tulane for his senior season.

Florida QB DJ Lagway practices for the 1st time in camp while recovering from a calf injury
GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Florida quarterback DJ Lagway practiced Saturday for the first time since camp opened, a sign of progress for the highly touted and oft-injured sophomore. Lagway is dealing with a strained calf and was expected to take limited practice reps. He wore a sleeve on his left leg, the same one that caused him to miss a game and a half last season. He strained a hamstring against rival Georgia and missed the following week's game at Texas. Coach Billy Napier has offered no timetable on his star player's return. It's the latest injury issue for Lagway, who missed spring practice with a shoulder injury after undergoing sports hernia surgery. The Gators opened training camp Wednesday. Napier, unlike in previous years, closed viewing periods to media for the first three days. Lagway, who went 6-1 in seven starts as a freshman in 2024, is widely considered a Heisman Trophy contender heading into this season. But he's barely been on the field at a time when he could be making significant strides. He was limited during spring practice because of the right shoulder injury that could eventually need surgery. He resumed throwing in late April and said earlier this month at Southeastern Conference media days he would fully participate in camp. But then he strained a calf muscle while running with the team last week. Lagway completed 60% of his passes for 1,915 yards, with 12 touchdowns and nine interceptions in 2024. He took over the starting role after Graham Mertz tore a knee ligament at Tennessee in October. Behind Lagway are journeyman Harrison Bailey and sophomore Aidan Warner. Bailey played at Tennessee, UNLV and Louisville before transferring to Florida earlier this year. Warner subbed for Lagway last year and was mostly ineffective. ___ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here. AP college football: and
