The Lincoln Journal Star is reporting that senior Cody Glenn has switched to defense and now will see time at linebacker.

According to Cody’s high school coach, Wayne Mahaffey, he did just fine back in Rusk, Texas.

“He was always very aggressive, a very sure tackler, always able to get to the ball very well.  I think this is something he can do that will help the team.  His statement to me was he just wants to play, he just wants to win, he wants a ring.  I don’t think it’s a move out of frustration at running back. I think it’s more a move out of the performance of the team last year, and he wants to do what he can to help.”

If he is healthy, this is a loss for the offensive side of the ball.  However, if he can be as aggressive on D as he was on offense, he might turn out just fine.  I am starting to like the thinking coming out of Lincoln nowadays, though.  Cody wants a ring and daddy just wants Nebraska back!
