At the start of 2018, Justen Glad was the one thing in our back line that seemed to be a certainty.
We didn’t know necessarily who would be starting with him, whether it would be Marcelo Silva or eventually Nick Besler; we didn’t know who the left and right backs were going to be, either. We all assumed Brooks Lennon and Demar Phillips, but nothing really seemed certain. Glad had a standout 2017 though, so he seemed certain.
That certainty was well placed. Glad started 33 of the 34 regular season matches this year, and while perhaps his season wasn’t as great as his 2017, he still did a really good job as a whole considering he’s just 21 years old.
