Kiyaunta Goodwin (OL Kentucky, transfer to Florida)

[RB07OSU]

Those are two bookend tackles if I've ever seen them. You can see here that Zen is a legit 6'7ish as listed, because Goodwin is a legit 6'8. Goodwin is going to be a crucial target in 2022 I feel like if we get him everything else is gravy with the 2020/2021 classes and who we already have committed in the 2022 class. Probably a bit of an exaggeration, but he really is the most important target in this class for me alongside some top-notch DBs (unless you consider Dewberry or Rice at OT, but not sure if we have a legit shot with those two).

He and Tegra will make Ewers a very happy QB

Wiltfong says Ohio State, Clemson and Alabama are out in front for Goodwin.

Given our history at OT recruiting, I’ll have sweaty palms on this one until the very end.

Agreed. We need Day personally handling this one

At least he’s not from south of the Mason-Dixon Line.

Nah put Hartline on it... tell the young man we will throw him some fade routes in the red zone if he comes here lol

No way that kid is only 16 or 17 years old. Holy cow

Put the whole dang staff on him.

Put the whole dang staff on him.

When going 1 on 1 with Saban/Alabama I agree...we have to meet them on the recruiting battle field so to speak more frequently and we have to win.

Personally I like our odds with DL/WR/DB/QB without full out press.

That means for OL/LB/RB attack with everyone.

 

[Bestbuck36]

Guy I'm most anxious to get in this class. Need need need

Literally across the river from Louisville. About as close to the south as you can get in Indiana

 

[ShowMeBuck]

Have no idea why but this one has always seemed like one that I see the good guys winning on.

Hope I’m correct.

Yikes does Goodwin have the game of a prototypical left tackle, what a monster. Going to be one of the top players overall in 2022 once all the scouts see him on the circuit dishing out performances like that. I like where we're at with him but I also have trepidation with our recent recruiting of OL prospects like this when Clemson and Bama are involved.

 

[LordJeffBuck]

a prototypical left tackle....

Clemson and Bama are involved.

Those two statements generally go hand in hand.

I wouldn't expect a prospect to be a prototypical left tackle unless Clemson and Bama (and several other top programs) were involved.
