The COVID-19 pandemic has had a negative effect on sports, with circumstances at their absolute toughest for teams in the spring of 2020. Every team suffered in some capacity, though some were affected more adversely than others.
“That whole season, we were on edge every week. You might not know if you were going to play a game up until Thursday or really, sometimes up until Saturday,” Glass said. “You might walk into practice right before game day and be told the game got canceled. It was big for us to be able to stick together as a team.
Glass and the Bulldogs picked back up in the fall of 2021 for a much more normal season, going 7-3, with two of their three losses being by nine points and four points, respectively, showing just how much of a true contender they were. Glass completed just under 63% of his passes for 3,568 yards with 36 touchdowns and seven interceptions on 414 passing attempts.
Several quarterbacks within this draft class are up against a stigma—several are from small schools and nearly all of them are being passed off or looked over because this class has been prematurely dismissed as being weak. Glass is aware of both things and is grateful for the opportunities he’s had to continue showing what he brings to the table before April comes around.
“I feel like it’s a misconception that guys from lower levels can’t handle a lot of responsibility at the line of scrimmage or that they don’t do so,” Glass said. “From my junior year forward, I had full reign of the offense. I could check in and out of run plays, pass plays, in and out of protections, RPOs things like that. That’s something that’s a strength of mine. I’m a very cerebral player.”
While he hasn’t received nearly the amount of publicity that other quarterbacks have, Glass is confident in himself and his abilities as a pure passer, regardless of what some others may have to say.
