As a junior, Goodwin helped lead his team to the SCISA 3A state championship. In his senior season, he averaged 18.9 points, 12.4 rebounds and 1.3 blocks, and shared The State Midlands Player of the Year honors with his teammate Seventh Woods.[1]

As a freshman at the College of Charleston, Goodwin averaged 2.3 points and 2.9 rebounds per game off the bench.[2] For his sophomore season, he transferred to Wofford, and averaged 4.3 points and 4.3 rebounds per game after sitting out for a year as a redshirt due to transfer rules.[3] He helped get the Terriers to the NCAA tournament and win the first NCAA tournament game in school history over Seton Hall.

Goodwin returned to USC for his additional year of eligibility, granted by the NCAA due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[6] In his last year at USC he started every game averaging 11 points and 6.4 rebounds while helping lead the Trojans back to the NCAA tournament for a second year in a row.
