  We report a glueball Regge trajectory emerging from diagonalizing a confining
Coulomb gauge Hamiltonian for constituent gluons. Using a BCS vacuum ansatz and
gap equation, the dressed gluons acquire a mass, of order 800 $MeV$, providing
the quasiparticle degrees of freedom for a TDA glueball formulation. The TDA
eigenstates for two constituent gluons have orbital, $L$, excitations with a
characteristic energy of 400 $MeV$ revealing a clear Regge trajectory for
$\vec{J} = \vec{L} + \vec{S}$, where $S$ is the total (sum) gluon spin.
Significantly, the $S = 2$ glueball spectrum coincides with the Pomeron given
by $\alpha_P(t)=1.08+0.25 t $. Finally, we also ascertain that lattice data
supports our result, yielding an average intercept of 1.1 in good agreement
with the Pomeron.
