Scout report
J. Glad is a 29-year-old full-back at Real Salt Lake, rated 30.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 354th of 480 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer. An experienced operator, he has been an ever-present this season (98.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.53 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Glad.
Judged on this season alone, Glad graded 14 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 42nd of 56 of the 56 full-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 1 clean sheet and 2.53 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 29 → 14). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 31, 45th of 56 of the 56 full-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 29 Glad is in his prime years, and a market index of 3.1 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Real Salt Lake finished 11th of 15 · a lower-table side
2.53 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 12 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (11th of 15) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 98.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 30.5, Glad carries the 45th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Major League Soccer of 56 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.53 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
