‘Infectious personality’: Tulane basketball player remembered following fatal accident

NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — Officials with Tulane University announced on Monday, July 28, the death of a basketball player.

In a statement from Vice President Sarah Cunningham, Gregg Glenn III reportedly died in a tragic accident over the weekend.

Glenn was a student athlete who played forward on the Tulane Green Wave’s men’s basketball team.

“Gregg was an outstanding athlete on our men’s basketball team and an individual who brought joy and light to those around him. His commitment to excellence inspired many of us,” said Cunningham.

Glenn, originally from Pompano Beach, Florida, was a Health and Wellness major. He was also the oldest of his siblings.

Known for his infectious personality, positive energy, and kindness, he brightened every room he entered. Well known in the South Florida area for his basketball prowess, he will be greatly missed by many. 

In times like these, it is essential that we come together as a community to support one another. We encourage you to seek support from the Tulane community and lean on each other during this challenging time. 

Let us remember Gregg not just for his achievements in sports, but for the kindness and warmth he shared with everyone. He will forever remain a part of our university family.
Vice President Sarah Cunningham
