Brad Guzan (born September 9, 1984 in Evergreen Park, Illinois) is an American soccer goalkeeper, who currently plays for C.D. Chivas USA of Major League Soccer.
Guzan played two seasons of college soccer at the University of South Carolina, and was a second-team All-America in his sophomore season. After spending two years with the Chicago Fire Reserves in the USL Premier Development League he chose to forgo the rest of his college years, signing a Generation adidas contract with MLS. Chivas USA drafted Guzan with the second overall pick of the 2005 MLS SuperDraft, Brad becoming one of the few non-hispanics on the team.
Guzan had a good rookie year for the expansion club, beating out Mexican veteran Martín Zúñiga for the starting job.
Guzan has played for the Under-18 United States national team. He got his first cap for the senior national team on February 19, 2006, against Guatemala.
