Football Adds Maryland Transfer Cherokee Glasgow to Signing Class

TROY, Ala. – After doing most of the heavy lifting during the early signing period, Troy landed a big addition to its 2021 class with the signing of Maryland defensive tackle transfer Cherokee Glasgow, head coach Chip Lindsey announced Wednesday.

Glasgow, a native of Mount Vernon, N.Y., is Troy's fourth transfer from a Power 5 program this signing class and third on the defensive side of the football. He is the only player expected to sign with Troy during the February signing period after the Trojans inked 18 players during the early period.
