Evan Goodwin has a massive 6-foot-6, 315-pound frame and did his best work inside at guard. He packs a powerful punch and can overpower some opposing DL

Per Birm:

Goodwin shares a mentor with KJ Hill, fwiw. Told me he's definitely grown up watching the Buckeyes because of that.

Really like this offer! Evan would look great in S&G and love that he has already made a connection with Bowen.

Interestingly enough, a familiar name around the Woody Hayes Athletic Center has contacted Goodwin as well. That being Paris Johnson Jr and his mother. Goodwin said, “But I’ve heard from Paris Johnson and his mom called my mom. That really means a lot to me.” Furthermore, he is very keen and senses the Buckeyes’ interest, “I feel like they are very interested in me and I want Me

Goodwin and Bowen’s relationship is growing quickly, “It’s growing. We had not talked prior to the day he offered. But we have spoken regularly since.” He mentioned, “We Facetimed today with him [Tyler Bowen], Coach [Marcus] Johnson, and Coach [Charlie] Dickey.” More importantly, Goodwin has a great relationship with Coach Dickey, “I’ve had a relationship with Coach Dickey for a couple of years. I 100% believe in him as a person and a coach. When I found out he was now at Ohio State, that was huge for me.”

Seems like a gifted but humble kid, who values relationships.

Hopefully he stays interested, when folks start tossing around Ferrari's, and Maseratti's like cornflakes. Hopefully he's an F-150 kid, or maybe a John Deere kinda kid.

Something tells me that a kid from the sprawling metropolis of Bauxrite, AR(pop: 633)is more of the latter. But I could be wrong

Maybe he'll hold out for a Lamborghini tractor?

If we could Evan, in my eyes that makes up for Guthrie even as much as I liked his upside. Great frame. athletic, absolute brute farm boy strength. I see a very good future OT here, hopefully he is a priority.
