Recruitment Recap: Wille Goodacre was one of the top interior offensive linemen in the talent rich state of Texas. He has several power five offers, including some close to home. Despite that, Syracuse was a school that stood out to him. He committed over the summer following an official visit and remained solidly pledged. However, a coaching change that saw Syracuse move on from Dino Babers and hire Fran Brown caused some questions about where he stood. After speaking with coach Brown and officially visiting, Goodacre's status was solidified.
Evaluation: Goodacre primarily played tackle in high school, protecting his quarterback's blind side. At the collegiate level, he likely projects as an interior lineman because of his strength and ability to run block. Goodacre has good technique, solid footwork and is very strong. Once he gets his hands on a defender, he wins that battle a vast majority of the time. The biggest key for Goodacre will be transitioning inside and getting used to protection assignments from that spot.
