University of Utah sophomore running back Jaylon Glover used to be an avid dancer, a quirky childhood anecdote to which he owes some of his football success.
As one considers what Glover has been to this point of his college career, not to mention how high the ceiling might be, there's an interesting, relevant anecdote from his childhood that has helped fuel his football life.From first through eighth grade, Glover attended Rochelle School of the Arts, a magnet less than a mile from the family home in Lakeland, Florida.
Jaylon was the only boy in dance, specifically ballet, as his mother, Wendy, notes, so there were times he was made fun of by other boys. That was a family topic of conversation in those days: how he felt about that, what to do about it, and did it really matter to him what others thought. If any of that did matter to Glover, it never mattered enough to deter him.
Glover may have found dance, but he still grew up playing youth football through the local Police Athletic League chapter for the Lakeland Hurricanes. Glover didn't need much time to make up his mind. By the time they got to the car after the audition, he knew what he wanted to do.
