Tulane starting forward Gregg Glenn III died in a “tragic accident” over the weekend, the school announced Monday. He was 22 years old.
Glenn was the Green Wave’s fourth-leading scorer in 2024-25, his second season with the school after playing his freshman season at Michigan.
“It is with profound sadness that I reach out to you today. We have lost a cherished member of our university community, Gregg Glenn III, who died in a tragic accident this weekend. He was a talented student-athlete who enriched our lives with his spirit, dedication, and passion for both sports and academics,” vice president of student affairs Sarah Cunningham said in the announcement. “Gregg was an outstanding athlete on our men’s basketball team and an individual who brought joy and light to those around him.”
The 6-foot-7 native of Pompano Beach, Fla., averaged 10.6 points, 5.3 rebounds and 3.1 assists in 34 starts for the Green Wave, who finished 19-15 last season.
“He was not only an exceptional athlete, but also a remarkable person who brought energy, dedication, and kindness to our team and community,” Tulane head coach Ron Hunter said in a statement. “Gregg’s spirit and passion will be deeply missed.”
No details about the accident — even where it happened — were provided.
