Ryan E. Glasper (born June 15, 1985) is a former professional Canadian football and American football safety. He was signed as a street free agent by the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in 2007. He played college football for the Boston College Eagles. Glasper has also been a member of the Toronto Argonauts, Edmonton Eskimos and Hartford Colonials. ==Early life== Ryan Glasper was born in New Britain, Connecticut. At the age of 14, his mother signed legal custody of him over to his then high school football coach, Jude Kelly. Ryan attended Southington High School in Southington, Connecticut. He started on the varsity squad his sophomore year and played a pivotal role on the offense as a receiver and running back. Catching passes from quarterback Dan Bruetsch, he became a dangerous offensive weapon and showed his potential. Glasper helped the Blue Knights win the CCC South crown. As a junior, he progressed to have a greater role in the offense, as he started at wide receiver, running back, and on special teams. Glasper, once again, helped lead his team to another CCC South title. In the beginning of his senior campaign he was asked to play quarterback with the graduation of strong armed quarterback Doug Fink (who was later drafted by the Boston Red Sox in the 29th round of the 2003 draft). Glasper eagerly took on the role and was progressing well until an ankle injury sidelined him. It was during this time that Glasper signed his letter of intent with Boston College to play safety on their defense. After signing his letter of intent, Glasper moved over to the defensive backfield full-time. While mentoring young sophomore quarterback Aaron Canterbury, Glasper helped led the Blue Knights to a share of the CCC South title. Glasper was voted part of the tri-captain squad during his senior year with Dan Bird and John Vose. During his high school career, Glasper also returned punts and kickoffs. He set school records for longest punt return (92 yards), longest kickoff return (98 yards) and longest play from scrimmage (97 yards). He also earned SuperPrep All-American honors as a senior defensive back and was voted to the All-State Class LL team, as well as 2001 New Haven Register All-State,〔http://www.iwasallstate.com/FallSports/Football/FootballAllStateTeams/2000s/2001/tabid/117/Default.aspx〕 for his outstanding play. Glasper also played varsity basketball and was on the track team in high school. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ryan Glasper」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
