Juco lineman commits to KU for football

Kansas University’s football program landed another early commitment for its 2008 class, this time from a junior-college transfer.

Ryan Glazer, a 6-foot-3, 290-pound defensive tackle out of Grossmont Community College in El Cajon, Calif., took an unofficial visit to Lawrence this weekend and left committed to coach Mark Mangino and the Jayhawks.

He’s the third early commitment to date.

“Coach Mangino told me I was the first junior-college defensive tackle they offered,” Glazer told Rivals.com, “and I wanted to take the offer.”

According to Rivals, Glazer had received early interest from Oregon, Arizona State and San Diego State before deciding to move to the Midwest for his last two years of school.

He plans to graduate in December to be in Lawrence for spring ball at the beginning of ’08.
