UCF tackle Cam Goode growing into a force on defensive line
“At the beginning of the season, I prided myself on becoming the guy,” Goode said. “Last year, my freshman year, it took a lot to get acclimated to the college level. It hit me — I just want to be the guy for my teammates. I want somebody to look at me and say, ‘Alright, we can rely on him,’ and not just hovering over me. I just wanted to be that guy this year.”
In order to become that guy, Goode gained 10 pounds in the offseason to be a more physical presence on the defensive line for the Knights. The work is paying dividends this season.
Through seven games, including starts against Tulane and Houston, Goode has 15 tackles, 6.5 tackles for a loss and 3.0 sacks.
