Glenn Richardson was a dominating defensive player in his days as a football player at UTC from 1981 to 1985.
Richardson remains as the school’s career leader in tackles with 522 and is one of only two UTC players to record over 500 in a career. He owned the single-season record of 183 until 2003 but still ranks second on that list.
A team captain in 1985, the linebacker was a three-time All-Southern Conference selection in 1983, 1984 and 1985. He earned the program’s Scrappy Moore Award as the team’s Most Valuable Player in both 1984 and 1985.
A member of the SoCon Co-Championship squad in 1984 under Head Coach Buddy Nix, he led the Mocs to their first NCAA Division I-AA playoff appearance in 1984 and a No. 7 national ranking in the final I-AA poll.
A three-time All-American, Richardson was honorable mention by the Associated Press in 1985 and 1983. He made the AP's third team as a junior in 1984. Â
Richardson graduated from UTC in 1985. He was voted to the Chattanooga Times Free Press UC/UTC All-Century Football Team as a linebacker in 2003.
