WKU's Towering Hilltopper Tackle Anchoring C-USA's Elite O-Line
At 6-6 and 270 pounds, Western Kentucky freshman Mark Goode brings massive size and three-star pedigree (247Sports 81 composite, #21 in Kentucky) to the Hilltoppers' offensive line, which in 2023 allowed just 14 sacks—10th nationally and 2nd in Conference USA—before his season-ending injury after seven starts as a junior. A raw but physically dominant force with high school highlight-reel athleticism, Goode's recovery and 2026 stats signal breakout potential for run-blocking intensity; he's a high-upside fit for teams needing versatile, battle-tested tackles who protect the pocket like pros.
