The addition of the 6-foot-7, 220-pound wing would bring Izzo's roster for next season to nine players. Jase Richardson declared for the NBA draft on Tuesday, and MSU had three others enter the transfer portal in Xavier Booker, Tre Holloman (undecided) and Gehrig Normand (undecided). The Spartans also lose Jaden Akins, Frankie Fidler and Szymon Zapala to graduation.

Glenn earned second-team all-league honors in the American Athletic Conference, averaging 12.5 points and 5.8 rebounds in 25.8 minutes while coming off the bench for 29 of his 34 games with the Owls. He also shot 41% from 3-point range on 117 attempts, bringing much-needed perimeter scoring and length to Izzo's program.
The Spartans beat Glenn and FAU on Dec. 21, 86-69, at Breslin Center in East Lansing. Glenn scored just six points on 2-for-9 shooting with four rebounds and missed all five of his 3-point attempts.

Glenn, an AAU teammate of MSU point guard Jeremy Fears Jr. with Indy Heat, was rated the No. 73 player overall in the 2023 class according to 247Sports.com's composite rankings. He spent his senior year of high school at La Lumiere School in La Porte, Indiana, the school from which Izzo landed Jaren Jackson Jr.

MSU target, 3-star DL Jermaine Polk commits to Rutgers following official visit
MSU target, 3-star DL Jermaine Polk commits to Rutgers following official visit One of the defensive lineman Michigan State is targeting in the 2026 class is off the board and heading to another Big Ten school. Jermaine Polk of Toledo, Ohio announced his commitment to Rutgers on Sunday afternoon. Polk took an official visit to Rutgers this weekend, which ultimately led to the Scarlet Knights sealing the deal with his commitment. Michigan State was one of five schools recently named a finalist for Polk, which didn't include Rutgers. Michigan State, Boston College, Iowa, Iowa State and Wisconsin were the five schools Polk named as his finalists in late May, but an offer from Rutgers this past week quickly changed his recruiting landscape, with the Scarlet Knights working fast to get him on campus and committed. Polk is a three-star prospect and ranks as the No. 73 defensive lineman in 247Sports' rankings for the 2026 class. He holds a recruiting rating of 88 on 247Sports as well. Michigan State landed their own defensive lineman prospect in the 2026 class, with Christopher Knauls Jr. committing to the Spartans following his official visit. So that commitment from Knauls eases the blow of Rutgers beating out Michigan State for Polk.
