Brandon Glover, from Norfolk, Va., became Tech’s first All-American in wrestling when he took third place in the 130-pound weight class at the 1959 NCAA Championships in Iowa City.

A four-time Southern Conference champion (1957-60), Glover went undefeated in his career except in the semifinals of those championships.
