12:30 P.M. — Mike Glennon's Scouting Report

There are a gazillion quarterbacks vying for the starting job at N.C. State this preseason, with Mike Glennon being one of pent-umvirate. All Tom O'Brien needs to do is check out the ESPN scouting report on his 6-foot-5 prized true recruit.

The No. 3 ranked high school quarterback (behind fellow Virginian E.J. Manuel), Glennon " is one of the best pure pocket passers this class has to offer...At times his throws will appear effortless with just a flick of the wrist."

Among the lowlights? "He is never going to "wow" you with much athleticism and he is really lean and lanky right now-- needs to be protected and add weight or durability problems could arise with too many shots."

In other words, after a redshirt season, he will be the next Philip Rivers.
