Shawn Goode '24 Recruiting Profile

The night before my first day of Kindergarten I played my first flag football game and got the game ball for pure grit against older and bigger players. At 7, I traded flags for pads and have been playing ever since. I've never backed down from bigger, tougher, faster opponents. For the last 11 years, the football field has been the place where I am my most motivated, my most aggressive, and my most confident. My strength is the ability to read the field and make key plays. I'm currently preparing for my senior season and I'm not ready for football to end for me. I'm looking to extend my football career and play at the collegiate level. I'm looking for the best fit, both athletically and academically, where I can be as asset to the program and set myself up for a successful future both on and off the field.

Football is my strength, but sports are my passion. I'm hoping to be on the sidelines, as an athlete and in a coaching capacity, for the rest of my life. Professionally, I am interested in a career where I can incorporate my passion and knowledge. In addition to playing and following football and wrestling, I am an avid follower of a variety of sports. I hope to continue this passion through playing, coaching, and through broadcasting, journalism, or sports marketing. Sports, for me, are not just a game or a passion, but a career path that I hope to follow and explore. 

I'm excited for the recruiting process and to see what the future holds.
