Auburn Brock Glenn, named after Auburn’s College of Veterinary, is a quarterback for the Florida State Seminoles. Although his first name is Auburn, he is known by his middle name, Brock. He is a native of Memphis, Tennessee. The 6 feet 2 inches player brings both size and talent to the field. He attended Lausanne College High School, which has helped him develop his skills.

Brock made headlines in 2022 as multiple major football programs wanted the QB in their teams. He played his career’s first game in the 2023 ACC Championship Game. Brock considers himself very fortunate to be part of a family with a deep love for sports. The FSU quarterback has four siblings, and sports is a common factor between them all.

Brock’s parents, Donna and Chuck, are very supportive parents who follow his football career very closely. The couple has five kids, and all five are sports enthusiasts who are doing great in their careers individually. Two of Brock’s sisters, Autumn and Gabby, are popular in Covington. The sister duo was part of the historical 2010 softball team that reached the Class AA title game. Both of them played for UT Martin in their respective senior years.

Meet Jordan, who is Brock’s elder brother. Jordan is also a football player, and being an elder and a professional football player, he plays a huge role in Brock’s growing football career. Jordan is always seen helping his younger siblings. He was also there with Brock when he was making the biggest decision of choosing his college. Jordan accompanied Brock on all his college trips. Nelly is Brock’s third sister. She also plays softball like her elder sister’s.

Brock shares a very lovely bond with his entire family. His siblings mean the world to him. Initially, he was playing baseball. But eventually, his focus shifted to football. He started playing flag football and switched to full-contact football in his fifth grade. Commercial Appeal reported on Brock’s love for football and why he decided to choose football over baseball. “I think watching college football. NFL and looking up to those guys and wanting to be like them, there came a passion about wanting to be like them and just have fun. Every time I played football, I had fun.”

What’s your perspective on:

Does Brock Glenn's strong family support give him an edge over other QBs in college football?

Have an interesting take?

Nelly is the quarterback’s favorite sibling, who is seven years older than him. She attended Covington. She is also an established player. All the kids in the Glenn family have inspiring stories for the new young players. Brock, who is the youngest among his siblings, is inspired by all of his elder brothers and sisters. Together, they dream big and try their best to set their goals high.

Although you have heard all the good things about the Glenn family until now, even they had to face a tough time when Donna and Chuck Glenn decided to get divorced. The QB was just 3 when the couple decided to live separately. Since then, Brock has been living with his mother and siblings, which has brought them closer as a family.

“Football has honestly been one of the main things that kind of bonds us,” Jordan said in a conversation with Commercial Appeal. It clearly shows us that sports bring the family together, and the Glenn brothers are a living example.

Brock has often mentioned his closeness with his siblings and other family members in his interviews. One thing that he learned through his recruiting process was the importance of relationships. For him, all family members play a significant role in his life, and he wanted his entire family to have an important role in him. Commenting on the same Brock has said, “Something about me that not many people know is I’m truly a family guy. Relationships are very important and they mean a lot to me. That’s kind of what I learned through this recruiting process—how important relationships are.” 

Brock’s recruiting process was very memorable for him as he visited the colleges with his brother Jordan, and it has also helped him get closer to each family member.
