Four Years in the Making Brad Stuver Got His Opportunity

The life of a backup goalkeeper is hard, especially on a team like Columbus Crew SC.

Steve Clark joined the Black & Gold before the 2014 season and played every minute of the last three seasons. That is until last week when reserve goalkeeper Brad Stuver earned his first Major League Soccer start.

“It was great. It’s been pretty much four years in the making,” the 25-year old said. “The first 10 minutes, the nerves definitely showed a little bit, definitely a little bit nervous.”

Stuver, a Cleveland native, played collegiately at Cleveland State for four years.
