Bio here: Eric Goins

College Gameday is probably already working on the piece about him.

 

[Henges24]

[arrowryan]

I also probably have a year of eligibility left

 

[domer13]

Is he on scholarship?

 

[Ricochet]

Is he on scholarship?

No.

 

[zelezo vlk]

I don't want him kicking, I want him setting up a massive cheating operation and on the sideline in Al Golden's and Mike Denbrock's ears

 

[Huntr]

excuse me, what?

 

[IrishSpartan]

So do we win the oldest player award

that kid whos played nine year at Miami gotta be older?

 

[Blazers46]

His bio is pretty cool. Bring some mental toughness to the kicking room. Lol.

that kid whos played nine year at Miami gotta be older?

That guy was class of '16. Goins is at least 3 years older.

 

[GrangerIrish24]

neat

 

[Giddyup]

Loren Landow and him need to arm wrestle for whose wisdom we’re running with.

 

[DCK_1981]

Dude’s probably got a well funded 401k by now

 

[USMCVandy]

Is he on scholarship?

If he hasn't used his Post 911 GI Bill yet, Army will pay for his MBA.

Yes.

 

[jprue24]

Hopefully he won't get lost.

 

[calvegas04]

At byu he would be a young pup

 

[dublinirish]

His military service is probably equivalent in status to being an IE poster through the BK 4 and 8 season in 2016

That guy was class of '16. Goins is at least 3 years older.

Correct. The guy at Miami is "only" 26. Goins is 30.

 

[ulukinatme]

Last season I said that Sam Hartman would be the last Notre Dame player born in the 1900s. Then I think we picked up another transfer in the offseason that was also in that boat. Now we're getting Goins who is older than both. I'm speechless.

That's a grown man... can't have enough of guys like this in the locker room, imo.

Even on the field. Nightmare scenarios happen, at least you’ve got a veteran presence to come in and perform

Interestingly, no time in the sandbox but a nice deployment to Europe. I dig it.

Well, with the state of the world, deployments aren't going to be just to the sandbox anymore. I won't be shocked when they start amping up deployments to Southeast Asia soon.
