Expert Analysis
Dom Skene | Prep Redzone Scout
Goodenow is a prototypical modern center. He’d be considered tall by traditional power-run down blocking standards, but his length allows him to execute innovative blocking schemes that are more prevalent in the offensive coaching minds of today. He has excellent footwork and can shift his weight well, so he attacks DT at decisive angles to create cutback lanes. He’s also a straight up mauler who drives guys into the ground one on one. The usual result is massive holes created just as the ballcarrier approaches the line, and Goodenow seals those gaps with his raw power. He could work on his center of gravity and pad level, but his respectable core lifts are still ascending as a Junior. He’s taken several D1 visits and has more scheduled, but he has a chance to be a great fit anywhere he goes.

Read EvaluationJordan Reyes | Prep Redzone Scout
Good size and frame for the interior at 6’3” 300 lbs. with the ability to be effective at Center or Guard. He’s an aggressive blocker that has shown good year over year improvement in both his technique/fundamentals as well as in his athleticism and mobility. Can win one on one battles by overpowering opponents or can wall-off/shield when necessary. As a center, he flashes a good ability to transition from the snap to engagement. Strong in the weight room that translates well to the field including holding the school record for bench press at 365 lbs. Good start to his junior season so far and performed well at multiple camps and showcases this past offseason.
