Who is DJ Uiagalelei’s backup at Florida State? Get to know Brock Glenn

Florida State fans may not have realized it, but they were in for a rude awakening to enter the 2024 season, and it came in the form of quarterback DJ Uiagalelei. After a pair of years at Clemson and then a season at Oregon State, the former five-star quarterback joined the Seminoles in the transfer portal this offseason with hopes of being a stabilizing force for a team that was snubbed from the playoffs.

That was definitely not the case. A poor performance by DJU in Ireland led to the Seminoles being upset by Georgia Tech. But that got worse when he looked even worse against Boston College in Week 1, putting Florida State in danger of another upset and a truly awful 0-2 start.

Right after halftime of the BC game, with the Noles trailing, fans began chanting for backup DJ Uiagalelei to replace him. This left fans wondering: who is DJU’s backup and what exactly does this quarterback depth chart look like?

Brock Glenn is the primary backup to DJ Uiagaleli at Florida State, a redshirt freshman who played just five games for the Seminoles in the 2023 season, allowing him to be redshirted. Here’s a look at the full depth chart with DJU.

Kromenhoek is a true 4-star freshman who joined the Tallahassee program this offseason. While neither reserve has a lot of experience, he has even less experience than Glenn, who would undoubtedly be the player to replace Uiagalelei if head coach Mike Norvell made that decision.

Glenn was a 4-star recruit out of Lausanne Collegiate School in Covington, TN as part of the 2023 cycle. He was a 4-star recruit according to 247Sports, but was a 3-star recruit in the 247Sports Composite, meaning the service itself was higher on him than the consensus of other services.

Glenn played sparingly, as noted, in his true freshman season at FSU, coming into games late against Southern Miss, North Alabama, and Florida and throwing a total of four pass attempts. He was used heavily in the ACC Championship Game against Louisville with Jordan Travis and Tate Rodemaker out with injuries, but was able to complete just 8 of 21 passes for 55 yards. It was even worse in the Orange Bowl against Georgia, when Glenn completed 9 of 26 passes and, while throwing for 139 yards, did so with two interceptions and no scores.
