Rising DT Power for Chattanooga Mocs
James Goode, a 6-2, 269-pound sophomore DT from Chattanooga, Tenn., stands out for his relentless intensity and compact, powerful frame that maximizes leverage against larger opponents. Though no major injury history is recorded, his high school roots at Howard HS and local upbringing fuel a fierce, team-first personality that coaches trust in critical defensive moments. Goode’s differentiator isn’t just size—it’s his explosive first step and ability to disrupt plays before they develop, making him a high-fit prospect for teams seeking a disruptive, intensity-driven interior defender. In the 2025 season, he showed steady growth in run-stopping efficiency, positioning himself as a future All-SoCon contender.
