Formative years

Glamp attended and played football at Hurst High School, located in Norvelt, Pennsylvania. Many sources mistakenly state that Glamp attended Mount Pleasant Area High School, located in Mount Pleasant, Pennsylvania; however, that school was not open until 1960 well after Glamp's high school time.

He then attended and played at Louisiana State University.
