ETSU freshman DB Zabian Goodwin brings local upside and developmental intrigue
Zabian Goodwin is a true freshman defensive back for ETSU in the 2026 season, listed at 5-foot-11, 180 pounds out of Kingsport’s Dobyns-Bennett High School[1][4]. The big sell here is projection: a hometown product with size for the secondary, active status, and early-camp buzz as a local newcomer, but no college stats yet, so he’s still in the prove-it stage[1][5][15]. If your team wants a young DB with room to grow and upside, he’s a worthwhile watch; if you need instant production, this is more of a long-term play[1][5].
