Caleb Goins is in his first season as a defensive quality control assistant and outside linebackers coach.  

Goins earned postseason accolades for the first time in his career after finishing fourth on the team in tackles.  He finished the year with 46 tackles and four tackles for loss. His top performance was against Emory & Henry (10/29) when he had eight stops playing just outside his hometown. 

That was one of five days on the year for Goins where he had at least five tackles.  He also had a seven-tackle day against Franklin Pierce in the Eagles home opener on Sept. 10. Goins concluded his Carson-Newman career with 112 career tackles and 13 tackles for loss.
