Meet Glaze: The Rising Star from Charlotte
Glaze, hailing from Charlotte, North Carolina, is making waves in the football world. A standout at West Mecklenburg High School, he was recognized as a 2019 SoMECK First Team All-Conference player and touted as a three-star prospect by 247Sports.com.
A Standout Career at the University of Maryland
During his time at the University of Maryland, Glaze showcased his skills on the field, appearing in 40 games and starting in 32 over his last three years. His redshirt sophomore season saw him excel as the second-best pass-blocking tackle in the Big Ten, with an impressive 85.7 rating. This performance contributed to the Terrapins’ fourth-ranked offense in the Big Ten, averaging 401.5 yards per game.
Impressive Stats and Accomplishments
Since 2021, Glaze has maintained a remarkable 2.8 percent quarterback pressure percentage allowed, ranking seventh among draft-eligible offensive tackles. His presence on the field also had a significant impact on Maryland quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa, who threw for 69 touchdowns and over 10,000 passing yards while Glaze was a starter.
Strength and Potential
One of Glaze’s standout qualities is his physical attributes, standing tall at 6-foot-5 and weighing 328 pounds, with a seven-foot wingspan. NFL analyst Lance Zierlein noted, “He has good hand strength and should improve in protection if he can use more direct, inside hands in his punch.” Zierlein also highlighted Glaze’s versatility as an inside/outside zone blocker with lead-pull potential.
Building Connections in the NFL
Glaze has already established a connection in the NFL, with his friend and former teammate Jakorian Bennett at the Raiders facility. Bennett, a second-year cornerback, shared the field with Glaze for three seasons at Maryland, showcasing the bond formed through their shared experiences and dedication to the game.
