Scouting Journals for Kiyaunta Goodwin

An absolutely huge offensive tackle with the biggest frame of any top prospect in the 2022 cycle. Underwent one of the more drastic physical transformations we’ve seen, losing over 100 pounds and reshaping his body prior to his junior season. Already bigger than most NFL tackles at a legitimate 6-foot-8, 325 pounds. Has high-end length with 35-inch arms. Has well above average athleticism and strength for the position, let alone at his size. Does not play top competition, but is a dominant player, manhandling much smaller defenders. Has also performed well against college prospects in showcase camps, flashing some polish in his pass set. While he has made great strides, will need to continue improving his lower body flexibility.

Kiyaunta Goodwin has shown the most upside of any tackle thus far, in our opinion. Nowadays, Goodwin checks in at 6-foot-8 and 325 pounds. He’s very long for the position with a 35-inch arm. We saw Goodwin start to put things together during his junior season at Charlestown (Ind.) High. He’s parlayed that progression into the offseason, where he turned in an impressive showing at a regional camp. Goodwin will need to continue improving his technique and ankle flexibility, but he’s shown considerable upside.

We were eager to see Kentucky signee Kiyaunta Goodwin in an all-star setting. Goodwin made one of the more incredible physical transformations we’ve seen from a prospect earlier in his high school career, shedding over 100 pounds prior to his junior season, allowing for much-improved movement. Unfortunately Goodwin has backslid a bit, now playing around 380 pounds. He’s not naturally flexible in his lower body and the added mass showed up in his movement ability over the course of the week.
