Tulane<\/a> basketball player Gregg Glenn III<\/a> died last weekend in what the school described as a “tragic accident.”<\/p>\n

Tulane announced Glenn’s death Monday but did not disclose further details.<\/p>\n

“He was a talented student-athlete who enriched our lives with his spirit, dedication, and passion for both sports and academics,” Sarah Cunningham, Tulane’s vice president of student affairs, said in a statement released by the school.<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n

Glenn started all 34 games as a junior last season for the Green Wave, averaging 10.6 points and 5.3 rebounds. The 6-foot-7 forward was Tulane’s second-leading rebounder and recorded three double-doubles.<\/p>\n

Cunningham said Glenn, who was born in Pompano Beach, Florida, was a health and wellness major at Tulane and was “known for his infectious personality, positive energy, and kindness.”<\/p>\n

Glenn appeared in four games at Michigan<\/a> during the 2022-23 season before transferring to Tulane, where he played in 64 games over two seasons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tulane basketball player Gregg Glenn III died last weekend in what the school described as a “tragic accident.”…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":27994,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[574],"tags":[64,63,726,85],"class_list":["post-27993","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-basketball","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-basketball","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27993","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27993"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27993\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27994"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27993"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27993"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27993"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
