Glatt also played baseball for University of British Columbia in their early 2000-2001 stages, and was a teammate of Mark Zamjoc, Derran Watts, Jeff Francis and UBC baseball assistant coach (currently, was a former player) Cav Whitely.

Professional career

Glatt was drafted 15th overall, in the second round, in the 2003 CFL Draft by the BC Lions. He spent three years as a backup before earning a position as the team's starting middle linebacker in 2006, while also helping the Lions win the 94th Grey Cup that year. In 2008 Glatt made his first CFL All-Star Team after finishing 4th in the CFL with 88 Defensive tackles along with 6 tackles for loss, 2 sacks, 2 interceptions, 2 forced fumbles, and 2 fumble recoveries.

On August 4, 2009, Javier Glatt was moved to back up and special teams when the Lions signed free agent JoJuan Armour, the former starting linebacker for the Calgary Stampeders. On January 29, 2010, Glatt was released by the BC Lions. On February 10, 2010 Glatt signed with the Edmonton Eskimos. After one season as a backup with the Eskimos, Glatt retired from professional football on March 8, 2011.
