Michigan State forward Kaleb Glenn will miss the 2025-26 season after tearing his patellar tendon.
Glenn, Michigan State’s top-rated incoming transfer, reportedly suffered the injury during a non-contact shooting drill. The Florida Atlantic transfer was scheduled to have surgery on his right knee on Thursday.
The 6-foot-7 Glenn averaged 12.6 points and 4.8 rebounds with a 53.1 field goal percentage for FAU last season as the team’s leading scorer.
One of three incoming transfers to the Spartans’ 2025-26 team, Glenn ranked as the No. 15 small forward and the No. 81 overall player in the transfer portal. The Louisville, Ky. native was also a second-team All-American Athletic Conference honoree.
Glenn transferred to Michigan State in April and will now have to redshirt for the upcoming season. He has two more years of eligibility.
“I feel terrible for Kaleb and for his family, but we will be with them throughout this process,” Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said in a statement. “It’s awful that this happened just a couple of weeks after he got here in East Lansing and was working out with the guys and getting to know them.
“In just a short time with us since he committed, we have really enjoyed having him and his family as part of our program. We’re going to do everything that we can to support him and get him back on the floor.”
