Mountain State Walk-On Quintin Goins | WVU Football All 105

All 105 is a West Virginia Sports Now series profiling each member of the 2025 WVU Football Roster.

West Virginia native Quintin Goins signed with the Mountaineers as a preferred walk-on in 2024. He first caught the eye of WVU Football’s coaching staff the previous summer, earning MVP honors for his performance at a camp the Mountaineers hosted. Even if they didn’t see him as a Day 1 contributor, West Virginia’s staff saw potential in Goins. The 6-foot-3, 260 pound defensive lineman will now need to demonstrate that same potential to new head coach Rich Rodriguez and his assistants in order to continue his path toward Power Four playing time.

95 • Quintin Goins, redshirt freshman defensive line

Last year: Goins took a redshirt year in his first college season.

Stats: N/A

Camp outlook: The Mountaineers have plenty of experience along their defensive line, which could block Goins from picking up major playing time. 

Projected role: If Goins managed to earn playing time, expect him to take the field as a reserve, whether as part of a defensive line rotation or in the late stages of lopsided games.

Accolades, highlights: Playing at Jefferson High School, Goins earned a First Team All-State nod in West Virginia’s Class AAA.
