Squad depthGoalkeeper

J. Waite is a 27-year-old goalkeeper at El Paso Locomotive, rated 24.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 116th of 272 on scout potential in the USL Championship. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (25.8% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Waite.

Judged on this season alone, Waite graded 5 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 19th of 24 of the 24 goalkeepers in the USL Championship, on 2 clean sheets across 8 appearances.

We hold a single season for Waite, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 24, top 21% of the 24 goalkeepers in the USL Championship. At 27 Waite is in his prime years, and a market index of 3 reflects that trajectory.

2 clean sheets in 8 appearances (25% of games). Playing behind an upper-table side (4th of 12) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 25.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 24.3, Waite carries the 5th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the USL Championship of 24 — though on just 8 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. A limited game time keeper carrying the gloves this season. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
