Early life

[edit]

Glaser was born on October 1, 1999, in Honolulu, Hawaii, before later moving to Ohio.[1][2] He attended Solon High School in Solon, Ohio, where he was ranked a three-star recruit and received close to a dozen scholarship offers.[3] Ranked by 247Sports as the 62nd-best player in the state, he initially committed to play college football for the Miami RedHawks before switching to the Virginia Cavaliers.[4][5][6]

College career

[edit]

As a true freshman at Virginia in 2017, Glaser saw no action through the first eight games and decided to redshirt; however, that week, injuries allowed him to see action in practice on the first team and Glaser then decided against redshirting.[7] He appeared in five late-season games and started two at right tackle, being one of 17 true freshman to see playing time and one of just two on the offensive line.[2][3][7][8] The following season, Glaser played 13 games, seven as a starter, at left guard, additionally seeing action at right guard.[2] In 2019, he played 14 games and started 13 of them.[3] In 2020, he started all 10 games, being named honorable mention All-Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC), and helped Virginia's offensive line allow the least tackles-for-loss in the in ACC, a mark that placed 12th nationally; he also helped them rank second in the conference for fewest sacks allowed per game, while Glaser himself allowed only one sack with 20 pancake blocks in conference play.[9] After being given an extra year of eligibility due to the COVID-19 pandemic, he returned for a final season in 2021.[10] In his last year, Glaser started every game and was part of an offensive line that blocked for a Virginia offense setting school records for passing offense and total offense.[3] Pro Football Network (PFN) named him honorable mention All-American.[2][11] He finished his college career having appeared in 54 games, 44 as a starter.[12]
