A two-time Tewaaraton Trophy nominee, Glynn was a three-time second-team All-America selection. He was also a three-time first-team All-Ivy League pick. Glynn registered his 100th career point during his final season, and despite fracturing his elbow midway through the year, he continued to be one of the dominant face-off men in the country, ranking eighth in win percentage (.574) and third in ground balls per game (6.56) while twice capturing Ivy League Player of the Week accolades. He finished his career with 67 goals and 61 assists to become the third highest scoring midfielder in Cornell history with 128 points. Glynn ranked third on the team with 23 goals and fourth overall with 33 points as a senior after scoring 44 points (18 goals, 26 assists) as a junior and 45 points (23 goals, 22 assists) as a sophomore. He led the Ivy League and ranked third nationally in face-off percentage as a junior (.633), posting a career-high 82 ground balls. Arguably his signature moment came when he scored with four seconds remaining in sudden-victory overtime as Cornell defeated Albany to advance to the national semifinal of the 2007 NCAA tournament.
