Glenn Sekunda played forward for Syracuse basketball for two seasons. Sekunda was a tall forward with an excellent perimeter shot, and he was a solid free throw shooter.

Sekunda came to Syracuse as part of a very talented class that included Lawrence Moten, Anthony Harris and Luke Jackson. Sekunda himself averaged 30.7 ppg his senior year in high school. With senior Dave Johnson already playing every minute, and Moten surprising everyone and becoming a star, there was not much room during Sekunda's freshman year for the other freshman players. He did however, get the chance to play in a blowout loss to Providence where he scored 18 points. In the next game, he came off the bench, and would hit the game winning shot in a come from behind victory over Seton Hall.

Sekunda would work himself into the regular rotation his sophomore season, being one of the top two players off the bench. However, Sekunda was not happy with his playing time, and transferred to Penn State after the season.

Sekunda would play at Penn State in the 1994-95 and 1995-96 seasons, and had a successful career with the Nittany Lions. He would lead Penn State to the NCAA tournament his senior season, their first NCAA bid since 1991. Unfortunately, Sekunda would have a very rough game shooting 1-10, as Penn State would lose to Arkansas 86-80. Sekunda did have 11 rebounds in the loss.

He would play professional basketball in Europe for 10+ seasons.
