Ryan Glow

-Jillian Rodriguez to her boyfriend, Ryan Glow
 * "The Paralympics are screaming your name, Ryan."

Ryan Andrew Glow is a disabled college student who dreams of being in the Paralympics someday. He is one hundred percent straight. Currently he is dating Jillian Rodriguez, although if she ever had to break up with him (or vice versa), he would most likely date another close friend of his, Mackenzie Snow.

Ryan was on the show Attending EFBS and is currently on the show College Kid. In the early stages of college, Ryan was forced into a scandalous relationship with Audrey Finn and when he refused, she attempted to murder him, unsuccessfully because Jillian walked in before she could try. However, this encounter left Ryan struggling mentally and he lots all his friends, with the exception of Michael Trend (until his death), Mackenzie Snow, Jillian Rodriguez and Lindsey White. Ryan wanted to forgive Audrey about what she had done, but could never bring himself to do it until the episode "Forgiven". After Audrey did what she had done, Ryan could not go near the water, seeming to fear it, since they were near a pool when Audrey was attempting murder.

In "Forgiven", Ryan grows to accept that he has issues. He stands up to Jillian by telling her that, despite her disagreeing with this, he needs to seek medical attention to get better. It is revealed that Ryan only fears the water because he was nearly murdered whilst nearby a private pool. After several meetings with a psychologist, Ryan comes to terms with the fact that in order to get used to the water again, he must start swimming lessons from scratch, as if he had never swam before. He also forgives Audrey for what she did to him earlier in the series and the two shake hands, although the writers of College Kid have admitted that Audrey and Ryan are far from becoming friends any time soon. After forgiving Audrey, Ryan enters a pool for the first time in ages and the natural skill from his arms push him forwards; he doesn't seem to fear the water anymore, after forgiving Audrey.

Writers have stated that Ryan is a fun character to develop and that they will be introducing more Ryan-based episodes in the future, even delving deep into Ryan's backstory.
