A native of Lenoir City, Tenn., Goodwin earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Tech in communications and pre-law with an emphasis in sports media.

During his tenure at Tech, Goodwin served as sports editor for The Oracle, Tech’s weekly student newspaper, where he covered each of Tech’s then 16 intercollegiate teams. He also held the title of assistant sports editor of The Eagle, the Tech yearbook, and was a disc jockey on WTTU 88.5 FM in Cookeville, Tenn.

Goodwin also worked as an undergraduate student in the sports information department from 2007-10 while attending Tech. His responsibilities ranged from writing and designing media guides to public address and radio broadcasts.

Pre law. I'm always amazed when I see that or hear it from someone. I've known a lot of lawyers socially. Most of them majored in history, poli sci, education, very few in accounting, and economics in their undergrad.
I guess if your plan is to go to law school, what ever you are studying is pre law.
