Javion Goins brings homegrown upside, but still needs game reps
Goins is a 5-foot-9, 180-pound UT Martin sophomore running back from Martin, Tennessee who showed strong high school production and versatility as a runner and receiver, but he redshirted in 2024 and did not see game action. He arrived after two seasons at Lindsey Wilson, where he logged limited touches, so his biggest differentiator is still projection: local talent with proven all-state pedigree, return-game-style quickness, and enough dual-threat background to fit multiple backfield roles if he can translate that burst into college production.
