College Career
Although he had various college offers, he chose to follow his older brother Darcel Glover to San Diego State University and remain close to home.
While attending SDSU, Glover was a four-year starter in football. As a senior he had 4.5 sacks and 36 tackles, was a defensive captain, won Aztec Outstanding Defensive Lineman honors, an All-Western Athletic Conference second team selection, and was chosen to play for the West squad in the East-West shrine game. As a sophomore, he was a second team All-Western Athletic Conference selection. As a freshman, he won All-Western Athletic Conference honorable mention honors. He graduated with double major in public administration and sociology.
Glover was overlooked at SDSU, never winning All-American status and gaining first-team All-WAC only once in 1994. He still ranks third in SDSU history in career tackles for loss with 44.5 and fourth in career sacks with 18.5.
In 2010 he was inducted into the Aztec Hall of Fame.

Famous quotes containing the words college and/or career:
“I had a classmate who fitted for college by the lamps of a lighthouse, which was more light, we think, than the University afforded.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“He was at a starting point which makes many a man’s career a fine subject for betting, if there were any gentlemen given to that amusement who could appreciate the complicated probabilities of an arduous purpose, with all the possible thwartings and furtherings of circumstance, all the niceties of inward balance, by which a man swings and makes his point or else is carried headlong.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
