Spielman played every single minute of Charlotte’s 2025 season, and likely would’ve in 2024 as well if not for a single red card. Invaluable experience joining Tormenta’s back line in ‘26.
Fun fact: Spielman played (and scored) against the inaugural Tormenta PDL squad in 2016 with Peachtree City

As I wrote about in the newsletter today, Nate Miller likes his center backs - particularly his left-siders - to be able to push upfield and initiate on the ball. Nobody in League One does that as well as Jake Crull. Boise continues to be ridiculous.
