Dane Goodwin established himself as a knockdown shooter throughout his career at Notre Dame, but the 23-year-old is working to prove he is more than that.
Goodwin leaves college as the all-time leader in games played at Notre Dame (158); he surpassed Rex Pfleuger on Jan. 7. He played in every game possible in five seasons for the Fighting Irish after arriving on campus in 2018.
He finished with career averages of 10.8 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.5 assists on 39.1% shooting from 3-point range. He finished his college career by averaging 11.3 points, 5.1 rebounds and two assists on 38.8% shooting from beyond the arc this past season.

After a successful college career, Goodwin is looking ahead.
The 6-foot-5 guard signed with Pensack Sports and is training with other prospects at Impact Basketball in Las Vegas, Nevada. He participated in the Portsmouth Invitational Tournament last month, averaging 9.3 points and 3.7 rebounds in three games.
He is working on improving all aspects of his game as he attempts to transition to the next level. Impact Basketball has helped send dozens of players to the NBA over the years, and Goodwin wants to be the next in line.
Rookie Wire caught up with Goodwin this week to discuss his pre-draft training; his college career; growing up with his father, who is a Division III coach; and much more.
