Glenn Jamon Dorsey (born August 1, 1985) is an American former professional football player who was a defensive tackle in the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the LSU Tigers, receiving All-American honors twice and earning recognition as the top college defensive player of the 2007 season.

During his junior year, Dorsey had more than 100 tackles, and 12 sacks. As a senior, he missed three games due to an ankle injury, and finished the season with 43 tackles, two sacks and one forced fumble.
