College
Kozlowski, who wore number 7, was a standout wide receiver on BYU's 1984 National Championship Team; he was known for making clutch, acrobatic catches. At the time, Glen was one of only two players (along with Todd Christensen) to start at BYU as a true freshman, playing with several standout quarterbacks over the course of his career: Jim McMahon, Steve Young and Robbie Bosco. He once recorded double-digit receptions and over 200 yards receiving in a game (the Kickoff Classic, against Boston College). A Sports Illustrated article from the same period included a photo of Kozlowski leaping into the stands in celebration of one of his many touchdowns, reminiscent of the "Lambeau Leap" popularized by the Green Bay Packers in the 1990s.
Glen suffered a serious knee injury during his senior season that threatened to derail his goal of playing in the NFL. As a show of support for his injured teammate, BYU quarterback Robbie Bosco switched his jersey number from 6 to 7 for one game.
