No purchase necessary. 50 U.S./D.C. 18+. Entry opens 3PM ET Dec 6, 2026 and closes 8PM ET Dec 18, 2026. Void where prohibited.See for complete details. The College Football Playoff (CFP) is not a sponsor or administrator of this contest.

Instincts: Aggressive drive blocker. Routinely gets hands inside target, putting defender on ground. Can duck-walk defenders deep into defensive backfield when engaged. Comfortable combo blocking to second level, peeling off to linebackers.

Polish: Wide, flexible stance at LOS. Occasionally loses base while engaged. Doesn’t fire arms consistently at snap, mitigating strength advantage. Limited experience as pass protector; must develop, hone kick slide.

Bottom Line: Glynn is a big, powerful interior lineman with the chance to contribute early for Cincinnati. High-end potential limited by relative lack of mobility, but projects as reliable, multi-year starter at guard.
