Bio

Alex Good is in his second year on the Carson-Newman coaching staff.  

Good helped transform sophomore De'Andre Thomas into one of the better dual threat QBs in the country during 2013.  Thomas set the single game passing efficiency record in his first start with Good's tutelage and became the first C-N QB since  Good to record a 200-yard passing, 150-yard rushing game.  

Good was a 2009 finalist for the Harlon Hill Trophy, which is awarded to Division II’s national Player of the Year.

In his senior year, he led the Eagles to an 11-3 mark, which included a perfect 7-0 mark in South Atlantic Conference play.  Good sent Carson-Newman to a no. 4 national ranking and an appearance in the DII semifinals against Grand Valley State.  

Good’s and the Eagles’ veer-option offense led the nation in rushing offense that year at 322 yards per game, including 89.2 per game from Good. The Eagles also averaged 458 yards per game in total offense, which ranked 10th nationally. 

The Greensboro, N.C. native had the Eagles averaging 43 points per game in SAC play, and rushing for 344.7 yards per game. His team rushed for 500 and 496 yards in back-to-back wins over Brevard and Wingate, respectively.

Good is still the last Carson-Newman quarterback to rush for more than 1,000 yards and pass for more than 1,000 yards in a single season.  His senior year he tossed for 1,859 and plowed his way for 1,253 on the ground in addition to rushing for 13 touchdowns and passing for another 19.   

The four-year starter was a three-time All-South Atlantic Conference selection, Good led the Eagles to four-consecutive SAC titles, and back-to-back NCAA playoff appearance.
