Ex-Florida State QB makes unexpected transfer move

The Florida State Seminoles appeared to be setting themselves up for a bright future at quarterback a few years ago.

In back-to-back cycles, the Seminoles signed three-star Brock Glenn and four-star Luke Kromenhoek. Glenn flipped to Florida State from Ohio State late in the 2023 recruiting cycle. Kromenhoek was someone the coaching staff identified before he started a game at the high school level.

Just over a year later, neither player is still with the program. Kromenhoek made his way to Mississippi State, barely playing in 2025 before recently transferring to USF.

After exploring his options in the transfer portal, Glenn has made a decision on his future.

Former FSU QB Brock Glenn Transferring To Western Kentucky

On Thursday, Glenn announced his commitment to Western Kentucky, per On3's Pete Nakos. Glenn will be sticking around at the FBS level, but he'll be dropping to the Group of 6 to compete in Conference USA.

The Hilltoppers went 9-4 last season, defeating Southern Miss in the New Orleans Bowl. The program is losing starting quarterback Maverick McIvor to graduation. Glenn will likely be competing with Rodney Tisdale Jr. for the right to replace McIvor. Tisdale Jr. was named the CUSA Freshman of the Year.

Glenn spent three seasons at Florida State. Last season, he appeared in four games, completing 6/10 passes for 69 yards and two touchdowns while rushing seven times for 45 yards. Glenn served as a reserve quarterback behind Tommy Castellanos and Kevin Sperry.

The Tennessee native was given an opportunity to win the job in 2024, but he didn't seize the moment. Glenn played in seven games and made five starts, completing 51/114 passes for 597 yards with four touchdowns to five interceptions. He rushed 35 times for 97 yards.

Glenn was forced into action in his true freshman season following injuries to Jordan Travis and Tate Rodemaker. He started in the Seminoles' 2023 ACC Championship Victory against Louisville. Glenn completed 8/21 passes for 55 yards.

Shortly before the Orange Bowl, Rodemaker left the team despite taking starting reps in a majority of the practices. That led Glenn to his second straight start, a record defeat for Florida State against Georgia.

Glenn didn't have much of a path to playing time in 2026 with Sperry's anticipated return and Florida State landing Ashton Daniels out of the portal. Sperry and Daniels make up the room, along with redshirt junior Michael Grant and incoming four-star Jaden O'Neal.
