He played [[college football]] for the [[Illinois State Redbirds]] and high school football at [[Saint Martin de Porres High School (Detroit)|Detroit St. Martin de Porres]]. Glenn is a [[journeyman quarterback]] who is the only player to ever have had his rights held by every team in the CFL.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.cfl.ca/2018/01/04/will-kevin-glenn-play-nine-teams/|title=Kevin Glenn Completes the CFL Tour - CFL.ca|date=2018-01-04|work=CFL.ca|access-date=2018-01-15|language=en-US}}</ref>

==Professional career==

===Saskatchewan Roughriders===
Glenn originally signed with the [[Saskatchewan Roughriders]] on June 8, 2001. He appeared in 18 regular season games for Saskatchewan in the [[2001 CFL season|2001 season]], starting for six of those games. Glenn completed 70 of 154 pass attempts (45.5%) for 938 yards, two touchdowns, and nine interceptions. He recorded 28 carries for 152 yards (5.4 yard average) and two touchdowns.<ref>[http://www.kevinglenn5.com/career.html Kevin Glenn Career] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150213234934/http://kevinglenn5.com/career.html |date=February 13, 2015 }}</ref>

Glenn played in 11 regular season games in the [[2002 CFL season|2002 season]] as well as the 2002 East Division Semifinal. He started three games on the season. He completed 60 of 95 passes (63.2%) for 777 yards, three touchdowns, and three interceptions. He rushed 21 times for 83 yards and one touchdown.

Glenn entered free agency on February 17, 2003, but re-signed with the Roughriders on March 21, 2003. He dressed for all 18 regular-season games in the [[2003 CFL season|2003 season]] plus the 2003 West Division Semifinal and the 2003 West Division Final. Glenn completed 40 of his 73 pass attempts (54.8%) for 508 yards, one touchdown, and four interceptions. He also rushed 13 times for 48 yards and a 3.7 yard average.

===Toronto Argonauts===
On May 19, 2004, the Roughriders traded Glenn to the [[Toronto Argonauts]] for their best selection (third overall) in the [[2005 CFL Draft]], however later in the day, Glenn was traded to the [[Winnipeg Blue Bombers]] for their best selection in that draft (also the third overall selection).

===Winnipeg Blue Bombers===
In the [[2004 CFL season|2004 season]], Glenn played back-up to [[Khari Jones]] until Jones was traded mid-season. In 8 games that season, Glenn passed for 2,329 yards, 14 touchdowns, and eight interceptions on 274 attempts and 166 completions. He also rushed 30 times for 125 yards and two touchdowns. That season the Bombers finished with a  disappointing record of 7-11, missing the playoffs

The [[2005 CFL season|2005 season]] was more successful for Glenn. Despite missing three games due to injury, Glenn had his best season as a Bomber. He completed 231 of 403 pass attempts (57.3%) for 3,571 yards and 27 touchdowns. His 27 TD passes was third best in the CFL. He also rushed for one touchdown on October 10 versus the [[B.C. Lions]]. That October 10 game at [[Canad Inns Stadium]] was arguably Glenn's best single-game performance of his CFL career. He passed for 410 yards and five touchdowns, including four TD completions to slotback [[Milt Stegall]]. Glenn would go on to surpass the 300-yard passing mark on five occasions in 2005. Despite impressive numbers from Glenn, the Bombers finished 5-13.

The [[2006 CFL season|2006 season]] was a year of great growth for Kevin. Though working in a brand new offensive system under new head coach [[Doug Berry (Canadian football)|Doug Berry]], Glenn performed admirably. In a Week 8 game, Glenn slightly tore his [[anterior cruciate ligament|ACL]], but returned to the field to play his former team the [[Saskatchewan Roughriders]] in their Labour Day tilt. Glenn managed to lead the Bombers to their first playoff appearance in two years.

Glenn emerged as one of the CFL's elite quarterbacks during the [[2007 CFL season|2007 season]]. By week 7, Glenn had the league's best quarterback rating (107.3), and had thrown for 2078 yards and 11 touchdowns (with only 3 interceptions). However, by the end of the 2007 season, Glenn's quarterback rating had fallen to 93.2, making him 5th amongst starting quarterbacks, in the 8 team CFL. Glenn led Winnipeg to the [[95th Grey Cup]] with a win in the East Division final defeating Toronto 19–9 before leaving the game due to a broken arm and causing him to miss the Grey Cup game, which the Bombers would ultimately lose.

The [[2008 Winnipeg Blue Bombers season]] started out poorly for Glenn with 976 yards, 2 touchdowns, 8 interceptions, a QB Rating of only 65.9, and 4 losses in 4 starts. He then lost his job to [[Ryan Dinwiddie]] who guided the team to their first win. After Dinwiddie led the team to its first win, he started struggling and lost his next game and Glenn was given his job back. Glenn and the Bombers became the first team in CFL history to host and lose a playoff-crossover match.{{Citation needed|date=January 2018}} In the off-season, quarterback [[Stefan LeFors]] was traded by Edmonton to Winnipeg in exchange for draft picks. Glenn was subsequently released on March 9, 2009.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=270526|title=Blue Bombers released quarterback Glenn|date=2009-03-09|publisher=TSN.ca|access-date=2009-03-09}}</ref>

===Hamilton Tiger-Cats===
Glenn signed with the [[Hamilton Tiger-Cats]] on March 20, 2009.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=271975&lid=headline&lpos=topStory_cfl|title=Tiger-Cats sign veteran quarterback Glenn|publisher=TSN.ca|date=2009-03-20|access-date=2009-03-20}}</ref> He began the [[2009 Hamilton Tiger-Cats season|2009 season]] as the backup to [[Quinton Porter]], but after Porter struggled during the season, Glenn took over as the starting quarterback. Glenn led the Ti-Cats to their first postseason appearance since 2004 with a record of 9-9. Hamilton was eliminated in overtime in the first round by the crossover [[2009 BC Lions season|BC Lions]]. In his second year as the starter Glenn led the Tiger-Cats to another 9-9 season this time to lose to the Toronto Argonauts in the first round.

After a very strong year in [[2010 Hamilton Tiger-Cats season|2010]], Glenn saw his production decrease in [[2011 Hamilton Tiger-Cats season|2011]], throwing the same number of interceptions (17), but 13 fewer touchdowns. Head coach [[Marcel Bellefeuille]] elected to use a two-quarterback system for portions of the season which had Glenn sharing snaps with [[Quinton Porter]]. However, Glenn managed to lead the [[Hamilton Tiger-Cats]] to the playoffs for the third consecutive season with a record of 8-10 by starting 17 regular season games.

===Calgary Stampeders===
[[File:Kevinglenn18oct2013.jpg|thumb|250 px|right|Kevin Glenn, shown on the sidelines during the Stampeders' final game against Edmonton for the 2013 season on October 18. During the game, Glenn passed Tom Clements to become Number 10 on the CFL's all time passing list.]]On January 3, 2012, Glenn was traded to the [[Calgary Stampeders]] along with [[Mark Dewit]] and a conditional draft pick for [[Henry Burris]].<ref>https://www.cfl.ca/article/trading-places-burris-and-glenn-switch-sides {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150923230802/http://www.cfl.ca/article/trading-places-burris-and-glenn-switch-sides |date=September 23, 2015 }} Trading Places: Burris and Glenn switch sides</ref> Glenn was brought in by the Stamps to serve as a backup for starter [[Drew Tate]]. When Tate went down with a major injury in week 2 Glenn became the starter. Kevin Glenn went on to start the next 15 games for the Stampeders, winning 10 of them. His 67.9 percent completion rate during the 2012 campaign was the best of his career to that point.<ref>Fisher, Scott "He's A Keeper" Calgary Sun, September 19, 2012</ref> Tate returned from injury and went back to starting status for the final two games of the regular season and the Western Division Semi-Finals. When Tate sustained a different injury in the Western Semi-Final, Glenn became the starter for the remainder of the 2012 playoffs. Glenn led the Stamps to victory over the [[BC Lions]] in the Western Final, but was unable to defeat the [[Toronto Argonauts]] in the [[100th Grey Cup]], losing 35-22.<ref>[https://www.cbc.ca/sports/football/cfl/broken-forearm-ends-qb-drew-tate-s-season-1.1128083 Glenn to start in Playoffs]</ref> During the [[2012 CFL season|2012 season]], Glenn passed Dieter Brock on the CFL's all time passing yardage chart, surpassing Brock's total of 35,025 yards.<ref>Fisher, Scott "He's A Keeper" Calgary Sun, September 19, 2012</ref>

Glenn returned to the Stamps for the [[2013 CFL season]] once again as a backup to [[Drew Tate]]. In similar fashion to the previous year Glenn came in relief of an injured Tate in Week 2 and was named the starter for Week 3 against the Alouettes due to Tate's injury.<ref>[https://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=427409 Getting a start in place of injured Tate. 2013 season]</ref> Kevin Glenn started in Week 3 and 4 against the [[Montreal Alouettes]], however, he was unable to finish the Week 4 game due to sustaining an elbow injury in the 3rd-quarter, sustained while taking a hit completing a 45-yard pass to [[Marquay McDaniel]]. On October 18, 2013, Glenn passed [[Tom Clements]] to become the 10th all-time leading quarterback in terms of passing yards.<ref>[http://inagist.com/all/391381757708500993/ inagist.com posting] {{webarchive|url=https://archive.today/20131020193825/http://inagist.com/all/391381757708500993/ |date=October 20, 2013 }}</ref> Glenn played a total of 15 of the 18 regular season games in 2013, leading the Stamps to a league best record of 14-4, earning a first round bye. In the West-Final Glenn was pulled after the first half after struggling against the Roughriders. The Stamps lost the game, ending their season.

===Ottawa Redblacks===
On December 16, 2013, Glenn was drafted by the [[Ottawa Redblacks]] in the [[2013 CFL Expansion Draft]]. Prior to the start of CFL free agency, the RedBlacks signed [[Henry Burris]] and named him the starter, leaving Glenn once again relegated to a backup role. On March 6, 2014, Glenn announced that he had requested to be traded, something he had discussed with the RedBlacks front office since the signing of Burris on February 4. Ottawa GM [[Marcel Desjardins]] had said that he would not release Glenn.<ref>[https://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=445464 Veteran QB Glenn asks expansion RedBlacks to trade him]</ref>

===BC Lions===
On May 13, 2014, Glenn was traded to the [[BC Lions]] during the [[2014 CFL Draft]] in exchange for the fifth overall pick in that draft.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://cfl.ca/article/ottawa-trades-glenn-to-bc-for-5th-overall-pick |title=Ottawa Trades Glenn |access-date=May 14, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140514121327/http://cfl.ca/article/ottawa-trades-glenn-to-bc-for-5th-overall-pick |archive-date=May 14, 2014 |url-status=dead }}</ref> With [[Travis Lulay]] suffering a major injury, Kevin Glenn started in 17 of the 18 regular season games, and also in the Eastern Semi-Final. Based on QB [[passer rating]] statistic, the 2014 season was Glenn's worst passing season since his 2008 campaign with the Blue Bombers. The Lions finished the season fourth in the West Division, but qualified for the playoffs by virtue of the "crossover" rule and the fact their 9-9 record was better than the 3rd-best team in the East. The Lions lost the East Division Semi-Final by a score of 50-17 and head coach [[Mike Benevides]] was fired less than a week later despite having had his contract extended to 2016. Glenn was not re-signed by the Lions and became a [[free agent]] on February 10, 2015.

=== Saskatchewan Roughriders (II) ===
On February 19, 2015, Glenn signed with the [[Saskatchewan Roughriders]], returning him to the team where he began his professional career.<ref>{{Cite web|url = https://www.tsn.ca/glenn-returns-to-the-roughriders-1.211162|title = Glenn returns to the Roughriders|website = TSN|date = February 19, 2015|publisher = The Canadian Press}}</ref> Glenn was the backup quarterback on the depth chart and saw action in the first game of the season, when starting quarterback [[Darian Durant]] suffered a leg injury. It was revealed after the game that Durant had suffered a torn Achilles tendon, ending his season and making Glenn the starter. Glenn learned Chapdelaine's offensive scheme quickly and excelled, making Saskatchewan's offense the best in the league though the first four games of the season (all losses). Glenn played in 9 games for the Riders but the team struggled and quickly fell out of playoff contention.

=== Montreal Alouettes ===
On trade deadline day for the 2015 season (October 14, 2015), Glenn was traded by the Roughriders to the [[Montreal Alouettes]], in exchange for a fifth-round pick in the [[2016 CFL Draft]].<ref>{{Cite web|title = At the Deadline: Als acquire Glenn in trade with Riders|url = https://www.cfl.ca/article/als-acquire-kevin-glenn-in-trade-with-riders|website = CFL.ca|access-date = 2015-10-14|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20151018011411/http://www.cfl.ca/article/als-acquire-kevin-glenn-in-trade-with-riders|archive-date = October 18, 2015|url-status = dead}}</ref> At the time of the trade, the Alouettes had a record of 5-9 tying them for the crossover playoff spot; whereas the Roughriders season was over after they had been officially eliminated from post-season contention. Glenn played in three of the final four games for the Alouettes to close out the season, however, he was not able to earn Montreal a playoff berth, losing the crossover to the [[BC Lions]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.cfl.ca/2015/11/01/walk-ing-on-sunshine-esks-officially-best-in-the-west/|title=Walk-ing on Sunshine: Esks officially best in the West|date=2015-11-01|website=CFL.ca|access-date=2016-05-24}}</ref>

Glenn began the [[2016 CFL season|2016 season]] as the starting quarterback on a crowded depth chart that included the likes of; [[Rakeem Cato]], [[Vernon Adams]], [[Brandon Bridge]] and [[Jonathan Crompton]]. Glenn started the first two games of the season of the Alouettes, had a bye for the third week and missed the fourth week with an eye infection.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.tsn.ca/alouettes-glenn-out-carter-expected-to-play-1.526065|title=Alouettes' Glenn out, Carter expected to play|date=2016-07-13|access-date=2016-07-16}}</ref> Glenn started nine of the team's first ten games of the season, but only managed to win three of them. As a result, head coach Jim Popp announced Rakeem Cato would be the starting quarterback in Week 12, relegating Glenn to the backup role.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://montrealgazette.com/sports/football/cfl/montreal-alouettes/cato-replaces-glenn-as-starting-qb-as-alouettes-hope-to-reignite-offence|title=Cato replaces Glenn as starting QB as Alouettes hope to reignite offence|date=2016-09-05|language=en-US|access-date=2016-09-06}}</ref>

=== Winnipeg Blue Bombers (II) ===
On September 11, 2016, Glenn was traded to the [[Winnipeg Blue Bombers]] to serve as the back-up for [[Matt Nichols]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://montreal.ctvnews.ca/alouettes-trade-qb-kevin-glenn-1.3068515|title=Alouettes trade QB Kevin Glenn|newspaper=Montreal|language=en-CA|access-date=2017-01-06}}</ref> He dressed for seven games for the Bombers while playing in one, completing two of his four pass attempts for 16 yards. Unable to come to terms on a new contract, the Bombers released Glenn about a month before he was set to become a [[free agent]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.tsn.ca/blue-bombers-release-quarterback-glenn-1.645171|title=Blue Bombers release quarterback Glenn - Article - TSN|date=2017-01-06|newspaper=TSN|access-date=2017-01-06}}</ref>

===Edmonton Eskimos===
On January 15, 2018, the [[Edmonton Eskimos]] announced that they had signed Glenn to a one-year contract.<ref>{{cite tweet|number=952956070154162182|user=elks|title=BREAKING: The #Esks sign @qterback5...|date=January 15, 2018}}</ref>  Glenn's rights had now been held by every team in the Canadian Football League.

===Future===
With the potential revival of the [[Atlantic Schooners]] as the 10th CFL team, Glenn has joked that he may want to come out of retirement to sign a one-day contract with them to continue to hold on to his unique claim of having been part of every CFL team.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://edmontonsun.com/sports/football/cfl/edmonton-eskimos/jones-kevin-glenn-makes-every-stop-in-cfl|title=JONES: Kevin Glenn makes every stop in CFL}}</ref> In a [[straw poll]], Schooner fans (in advance of the teams 2018 revival announcement prior to the [[106th Grey Cup]]) said that they would want Glenn as a QB selection in an [[expansion draft]] if the team's revival comes to fruition.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.sportsnet.ca/football/cfl/cfl-may-finally-ready-welcome-atlantic-schooners/|title=Why the CFL may finally be ready to welcome the Atlantic Schooners - Sportsnet.ca}}</ref> Mid-way through the [[2019 CFL season|2019 season]] the Blue Bombers (7–2 at the time) contacted Glenn to see if he was interested in coming out of retirement following an injury to starting quarterback [[Matt Nichols]]; however, Glenn declined the offer although he did consider it "very tempting".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.tsn.ca/retired-qb-kevin-glenn-declines-return-to-winnipeg-blue-bombers-1.1352344|title=Retired QB Kevin Glenn declines return to Winnipeg Blue Bombers - TSN.ca|author=TSN ca Staff|date=2019-08-17|website=TSN|language=en|access-date=2019-08-17}}</ref>

From 2020 to 2022 Glenn was an assistant coach at [[Detroit Catholic Central High School]].<ref>{{Cite web |author=3Down Staff |date=2023-05-10 |title=Former CFL QB Kevin Glenn hired as head coach at University Liggett School |url=https://3downnation.com/2023/05/10/former-cfl-qb-kevin-glenn-hired-as-head-coach-at-university-liggett-school/ |access-date=2023-05-10 |website=3DownNation |language=en-US}}</ref> While an assistant coach at CC, the team had an overall record of 25-7. In May 2023 it was announced that Glenn had been hired as the head coach of the football team at [[University Liggett School]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Adzima |first=Mike |last2= |date=2023-05-10 |title=Liggett hires former CFL QB Kevin Glenn as new head football coach |url=https://www.grossepointenews.com/articles/liggett-hires-former-cfl-qb-kevin-glenn-as-new-head-football-coach/ |access-date=2023-05-10 |website=Grosse Pointe News}}</ref> He led Liggett to a 7-3 record and a playoff appearance. About a year later, in May of 2024, Glenn was announced as the head coach of the football team at [[University of Detroit Jesuit High School and Academy]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Tomhave |first=David Goricki and Daren |title=Kevin Glenn named U-D Jesuit football coach; Andre Rison named interim at Liggett |url=https://www.detroitnews.com/story/sports/high-school/2024/05/30/kevin-glenn-u-d-jesuit-high-school-football-coach-andre-rison-university-liggett/73905419007/ |access-date=2024-08-25 |website=The Detroit News |language=en-US}}</ref>
