FRISCO, Tex. (March 22, 2008) -- Team Texas would have had an awesome linebacking corps.

Chris Glenn made his debut Saturday with the Thunder against the Centex Barracudas, coming back to the team after the demise of the All-American Football League.

The William Jewel product briefly participated in the Thunder’s pre-season training camp until being selected by Texas in the AAFL’s supplemental draft.

He made an immediate impact: three first-half sacks en route to an Intense Football League record 4.5 tackles for loss.

Still, Glenn said he was nervous coming into Saturday night’s game since he was used to playing outdoor football, but that he got into the rhythm of indoor play rather quickly.

 “Once I got in the swing of things, football is football, so it wasn’t that bad,” said Glenn. 

He said the Thunder was already more connected than Team Texas ever was – those players didn’t get much of a chance to bond with each other. 

“This team really is forming together,” Glenn said. “There’s a lot of camaraderie that the other team may not have had.” 

Appreciative of the opportunity to play, Glenn simply wants to be a team player for the Thunder. 

“I want to contribute where I can, make the tackles when I need to make my tackles [and] make my responsibilities,” said Glenn.
