This will be the fourth year for Will Glover working with the Bethune-Cookman Football program after joining the staff in 2015, serving under head coach Terry Sims. Glover works as the assistant coach in charge of wide receivers for the Maroon and Gold.
In 2017, Glover oversaw the development of a deep receiving corp. that helped the Wildcats finished third in completion percentage (59%) and passing yardage (215.3). BCU was fourth in passing efficiency (124.82), and led the MEAC in red zone offense by scoring close to 86% of its trips. A balanced group saw a different leader in the main three receiving categories, as Frank Brown led the Wildcats with four scores, Jawill Davis averaged 43.2 yards per-game, and Keavon Mitchell averaged just under four catches per-game. BCU produced three 100-reception receivers with Mitchell (104), Brown (138) and Davis (160).
Davis was 11th in the MEAC with an average of 13.19 yards per-catch, and after graduating from BCU signed as an undrafted free agent with the New York Giants.
During the 2016 season, Glover oversaw the progression of redshirt junior receiver Frank Brown being named to the All-MEAC Second Team, though entering as a return specialist. The Palm Beach Gardens, Florida native finished the season leading the Wildcats in receiving with 29 catches for 439 yards and seven touchdowns. He averaged 48.8 yards per game, while also amassing 15.1 yards per reception. Also accumulating 20-plus receptions were Jawill Davis (26 rec., 389 yds) and Jaime Wilson (21 rec., 197 yds), respectively.
The 2015 season saw Davis make his way onto the All-MEAC Firs Team for offense. He finished the year leading Bethune-Cookman in receptions (39) and receiving yards (788). He ended the campaign with a team-high matching six touchdown receptions, and finished ninth in the league for receptions per game (3.5). He was second in receiving yards per game (71.6), and ended 46th in the FCS for total receiving yards.
Glover arrived to Daytona Beach from nearby Orlando and the UCF Knights program. He spent the 2014 season as an offensive graduate assistant with the Knights. He joined the Knights in the 2013 season as their offensive quality control assistant, and first arrived at UCF as a volunteer in the spring of 2013.
While at UCF, Glover worked with All-American Conference receivers Breshad Perriman and J.J. Worton. Perriman was taken in the first round of the 2015 NFL Draft by the Baltimore Ravens.
Additionally, receivers Rannell Hall and Josh Reese were signed to free agent contracts by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers following the 2014 campaign.
Glover had history with UCF head coach George O’Leary prior to his arrival with the Knights.
He was a four-year letterwinner for the Yellow Jackets under the guise of O’Leary from 1999-2002. At Georgia Tech, Glover helped the Yellow Jackets to four consecutive bowl appearances from 1999-2002. As a junior, he scored the first-ever touchdown in the 2001 Jeep Seattle Bowl (previously named the Oahu Bowl) against Stanford. The Jackets would go on to win the game by a score of 24-12.
In his time at Georgia Tech, Glover broke into the school’s record book. Currently, he ranks sixth with 122 career receptions and 13th with 1,316 receiving yards.
After his playing career ended with the Yellow Jackets, Glover moved to a career in professional football. He signed as a priority free agent with the New York Jets in 2003, and later deciding to play in the Canadian Football League and NFL Europe.
