High School Days
Glen Logan played football at Destrehan High School in Destrehan, Louisiana. He was a defensive tackle, a position where players try to stop the other team's offense. During his senior year, he was recognized as one of the best defensive players in Louisiana. He made 54.5 tackles, which means he stopped the opposing team's players many times. He also had 5.5 tackles for loss and four sacks, which means he stopped the quarterback behind the line of scrimmage.
Experts from different sports websites, like 247Sports and ESPN, considered him a top player. Rivals.com even ranked him as the seventh-best defensive tackle in the entire country.
College Football Career
Glen Logan played college football for the LSU team for six seasons, from 2016 to 2021. He played in 51 games and started 37 of them. He was a key player on the defensive line for the Tigers.
He didn't play in his first year (2016), which is called "redshirting." This allows a player to practice with the team but not play in games, saving a year of eligibility. He was also given an extra year to play in 2021 because of special rules during the COVID-19 pandemic.
During his time at LSU, Logan made 110 tackles and had 7.0 sacks. A big highlight of his college career was winning the national championship with LSU in 2019.

After college, Glen Logan was not chosen in the 2022 NFL draft. This means he became an "undrafted free agent," able to sign with any team.

Houston Roughnecks (XFL)
In January 2023, Logan was traded to the Houston Roughnecks. Later, the XFL and USFL leagues joined together to create the United Football League (UFL). Because of this merger, the XFL's Roughnecks team was closed, and its brand was moved to another team.
