In that role, he co-coached individual drills alongside Offensive Coordinator Mike Piatkowski, headed the offensive support staff, and assisted with recruiting across Missouri, junior colleges, and the transfer portal.

He organized individual drills to develop throwing mechanics, footwork, and football IQ, and assisted the head coach with weekly pass game planning. His offense ranked second in the CCIW in both total offense and points per game that season. Glass also recruited players throughout Missouri, Illinois, and the transfer portal.
 
Before his time at Washington University, Glass was a Tight Ends Coach and Graduate Assistant at the University of Dayton in 2021-22, where he contributed to film breakdown, drawing scout cards, and scouting reports. He organized and led tight end position meetings, coordinated recruiting visits, and developed recruiting schedules for the entire staff.
