Texas Southern’s Ernest Goodwin brings a powerful leg, but the results are still coming together
In the 2026 season, sophomore kicker Ernest Goodwin has flashed big-leg potential for Texas Southern, but his early numbers show room to sharpen the finish: he is 0-for-1 on field goals and has handled kickoff duties with a 53.3-yard average on 7 kicks, including a 54-yard blast against Prairie View A&M. He stands out for leg strength and versatility as a K/P, which makes him useful in multiple special-teams spots, but his fit is best for a team willing to develop a young specialist rather than demand instant consistency.
