MACOMB, Ill. - Western Illinois' Kyle Glazier (Geneseo/Geneseo) picked up his second All-America honor in as many days as the senior linebacker was voted First Team by the Associated Press.

He joins Jason Williams (2008), Edgerton Hartwell (2000), James Milton (1998) and Rodney Harrison (1993) as the only Leatherneck defensive players to earn AP First Team honors over the past 20 years.

Glazier also extended the Fighting Leathernecks' streak to 41 of the last 42 years having at least one player named All-America. Western recorded the best wins turnaround from one year to the next, going from 1-10 in 2009 to 8-5 this year and advancing to the Second Round of the NCAA FCS Playoffs, losing to top-seed Appalachian State.

One of 20 finalists for the Buck Buchanan Award (given to the national Defensive Player of the Year), Glazier stands second nationally in tackles per game, averaging 12.85 per game (167 overall). He posted the most tackles in a FCS game so far this season, 25 at Missouri State (third-most in a Western Illinois game). Two weeks earlier he recorded 21 stops at South Dakota State, becoming the only Leatherneck to record two 21-plus tackle games in their career, let alone in the same month.

Glazier registered 10 or more tackles in 10 of the 13 games played. He also led the team with 13 tackles for a loss and made four sacks on the year. In addition, Glazier recorded two interceptions, forced two fumbles and broke up two passes.

The 167 total tackles are sixth-most in a WIU season (11th in the Missouri Valley Football Conference). A three-year starter, his 392 career tackles (378 over the past three seasons) rank him fourth among the Western all-time leaders.
