Early life

Blackwood was born in San Antonio, Texas and graduated from Churchill High School.[1]

College career

He attended the University of Texas where he played from 1975 to 1978 and was captain of the 1978 football team.[2] He led the team in interceptions in 1977, when Texas was ranked #1 for most of the season, won the Southwest Conference Championship, fashioned a perfect 11-0 season and played for the National Championship.[3]

Professional career

He was selected by the Miami Dolphins in the eighth round of the 1979 NFL draft. He became a starter in his rookie year, and continued to start until the end of his career. In 1980, he led the NFL with four fumble recoveries. He played in Super Bowl XVII and Super Bowl XIX, but lost both games. He was a Dolphins nominee for the NFL Man of the Year and for the Ed Block Award for inspiration, sportsmanship and courage.[3] His brother Lyle Blackwood also played in the NFL, and they were teammates from 1981 through 1986 with the Miami Dolphins. On a Monday night game against Buffalo in 1981, Glenn at strong safety and Lyle at free safety ganged up to put some heavy hits on the Bills’ players, prompting a Miami sportswriter to dub them "The Bruise Brothers." The moniker stuck.[4][5] Blackwood finished his career with 29 interceptions and 13 fumble recoveries.[1] Blackwood was named to the Dolphins' 50 best players in their first 50 seasons in 2015.[3]

Personal life

Blackwood owns a home in Wellington, Florida. His son Glenn Jacob "Jake" Blackwood played football at Georgia Tech.[6] Blackwood coached his son in high school, serving as head football coach of The King's Academy in West Palm Beach, Florida, in 2001 and 2002 and as an assistant football coach from 2003 to 2006.[7][8]
