Glen West – Senior Writer
A lifelong sports fan, Glen got his start covering LSU sports as a student with the Reveille in 2017. He began college at LSU in 2015 and quickly knew that if he wasn’t quite good enough to play in college, the next best thing was to cover the sports he grew up playing.
By the second semester of his sophomore year, he applied to the Reveille. He was selected to cover the final year of Johnny Jones tenure with LSU men’s basketball as well as a pretty special college baseball season that saw Alex Lange, a young Josh Smith, Kim Mulkey’s son and the Tigers baseball team get all the way to the College World Series championship against Florida.
Since that semester of covering LSU sports, he’s been hooked and hasn’t left Baton Rouge. Glen continued to work for the Reveille as a student up until his final semester of college, where he covered not only basketball and baseball but LSU football as well. That final semester he was hired by Rivals as his first venture away from student media to continue covering the purple and gold.
He was later hired that summer by Sports Illustrated to start up the LSU site that has now become LSU Tigers on SI. During that time, Glen covered LSU’s magical 2019 championship run from start to finish, the rise of the program under Ed Orgeron and the subsequent fall. He watched Tremont Waters and the basketball team seal a spot in the Sweet Sixteen on a buzzer beater against Maryland as well as the subsequent NCAA tournament teams that followed.
From 2022 until June of 2026, Glen covered LSU football, basketball, baseball and recruiting for 247Sports, where he closely followed the entire Brian Kelly era, two national championship baseball teams and of course the now seismic change in both the football and men’s basketball leadership.
