“While some NFL players are living it up in fancy mansions, Glasgow is still kicking it in a cozy three-bedroom condo back in his college town.” That’s how Kyle Meinke painted the picture in 2019 when Graham Glasgow was still living simply with his fiancée, Ally, and their dog, Gordy. It was a humble phase. And, sure, it was beautiful.
Fast forward to 2024, and things have changed. The 6’6 and 308 lb framed guard is not only holding down the fort on the gridiron, but also at home with his wife Ally and their two little Glasgows. Life has come a long way, and while he’s still that gentle giant on the field, it’s Ally who’s the Lioness behind his Detroit blue.

Before becoming Ally Glasgow, Allison Davis was a volleyball dynamo at the University of Michigan. Leading her team as one of the tri-captains in 2016, she racked up impressive stats despite battling injuries. Imagine this: coming back strong with 26 kills in just 10 matches! That’s some serious grit. And on top of that, she made the 2015 Academic All-Big Ten List. Talk about a dual threat—on the court and in the classroom!
Hey, this must have also saved you from wondering where the romance with Graham Glasgow began. Michigan came in clutch with the assist. And their shared love for sports must have taken it to the next stage from there on in. But let’s not rush. It’s a journey we are mapping. We’ll get to ‘them’ later, but right now the spotlight’s on Ally.

Her professional career, when not smashing volleyball, is quite special. Take notes! Ally co-founded a jewelry brand called Grounded in 2016. Later, after completing her master’s, she tackled the corporate scene at IBM, climbing the ranks as a Portfolio Specialist. Then found her calling as a Graphic Designer and an Illustrator. And now, she’s living her best life as Ally G., and her Instagram is a treasure trove of fun and inspiration.
