Naylor Glass is only a freshman — but the work he is putting in already looks like a senior’s.

On the field, he lines up at receiver and defensive back for the Black Raiders, using quick feet and sharp route running to win early. Off it, he carries a 3.8 GPA and a spot on the honor roll — the kind of balance that goes well beyond a stat sheet.
