Chris Glaser

Chris Glaser (born October 1, 1999) He attended Solon High School in Solon, Ohio, where he was ranked a three-star recruit and received close to a dozen scholarship offers. 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.

College career 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. 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. The following season, Glaser played 13 games, seven as a starter, at left guard, additionally seeing action at right guard. After being given an extra year of eligibility due to the COVID-19 pandemic, he returned for a final season in 2021. 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. He finished his college career having appeared in 54 games, 44 as a starter.
