Sean Glennon

In total, Glennon amassed over 4,800 yards passing, 67 passing touchdowns (7th all-time in Virginia), eight rushing touchdowns, and only 11 interceptions.

He was elected to the Associated Press and Virginia Coaches' all-state teams, the Washington Post all-Metro first team, and was ranked No. 21 on the All Mid-Atlantic Team.

He earned High School All-America honors from SuperPrep and PrepStar, in addition to being ranked the No. 4 high school player in the state by The Roanoke Times and the No. 3 high school player in the state by Rivals.com.

Due to his numerically successful high school career and the number of awards granted him, Glennon was widely recruited by college teams eager to find a stable quarterback.

Most Atlantic Coast Conference schools were among those who recruited Glennon.

Glennon eventually narrowed that list down to two: Georgia Tech and Virginia Tech.

Sean Glennon (born September 5, 1985) is a former American football quarterback.

He played college football at Virginia Tech.

Over the next year, his final (senior) season at Westfield High School, Glennon led the Bulldogs to a 14–0 record and the 2003 Virginia AAA Division 6 state championship, beating Landstown 35–14.

He passed for 1,840 yards, 26 touchdowns, and four interceptions during the championship campaign and added four touchdowns on the ground.

Following the championship season, Glennon received numerous accolades as he finalized his search for a college choice.

After visiting the campuses of each school, Glennon made his decision, committing to Virginia Tech on August 14, 2003.

Despite his true freshman status, Glennon participated in four games during the 2004-2005 football season, playing primarily as a relief quarterback in blowouts over Western Michigan University and Florida A&M University.

He saw his first collegiate action on September 11, 2004, in Virginia Tech's 63–0 win over Western Michigan University.

Glennon went 4-for-4, completing all of his passes, including a tipped ball that was blocked, caught, and recorded as a pass from Sean Glennon to Sean Glennon.

His first pass was a 34-yard touchdown completion to receiver Justin Harper, and he later would record another, 33-yard touchdown pass to backup tight end Duane Brown.

His next action came in the October 16, 2004, homecoming game against Florida A&M University.

Taking 40 total snaps in the game, Glennon directed two touchdown drives in the 62–0 blowout.

In the game, Glennon went 4-for-7 for 58 yards.

As Marcus Vick returned from his suspension from the Virginia Tech football team to assume the starting quarterback role, Sean Glennon asked for and was granted a redshirt season in 2005.

Though still the emergency quarterback who would play in the event that Vick were injured, Glennon did not play and Cory Holt took on the quarterback duty in blowouts.

Glennon's only action came in the Maroon-White scrimmage game, where he went 5-for-6 for 36 yards.

Glennon was named the starting quarterback on August 13, 2006.

In the Hokies' season-opening win over Northeastern University, Glennon completed 15 of his 18 passes for a total of 222 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception.

He was removed from the game after the second series of the third quarter, having played the entire first half.

In the second game against the University of North Carolina, Glennon went 10-for-16 for 66 yards.

In his third game against Duke, he recorded his first 300 yard passing performance with a 301 yard, 2 touchdown effort.

He eclipsed the 300 yard mark again two weeks later vs. Georgia Tech, throwing for 339 yards on 27 of 53 attempts and a touchdown.

He recorded his best game statistically of the season by completing 14 of 21 passes for 252 yards and two touchdowns vs. Wake Forest.

Glennon was named the starter following the dismissal of Marcus Vick and held that job until being replaced by Tyrod Taylor during the 2007 season.

After Taylor was injured against Duke, Glennon reclaimed the starting duties and started every game that season.

During the 2008 season, Virginia Tech split time between the two.

Glennon's younger brother, Mike, played collegiately as a quarterback at NC State and for several teams in the NFL.

Glennon was born in The Woodlands, Texas to John and Nancy Glennon.

John, his father, had a position with ExxonMobil that forced the family to move three times in Sean's grade-school years.

From The Woodlands, the family would move to New Jersey, back to Texas, then finally to Centreville, Virginia, where they would stay for Glennon's high school years.

His sister Katie also attended Virginia Tech.

His brother Mike played for North Carolina State University, and was drafted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the 2013 NFL Draft.

Sean Glennon attended Westfield High School in Fairfax County, playing all four years at quarterback, and starting for the Westfield Bulldogs in his sophomore through senior seasons under head coach Tom Verbanic.

During his junior year, Glennon threw for over 1,700 yards and 21 touchdowns while rushing for another four touchdowns.
