Matt Goggans enters his first year as the Wide Receivers Coach at the University of Arkansas at Monticello after joining the Weevils in March 2019. This is his first time in the Great American Conference.
Goggans comes to UAM from the University of Colorado. At Colorado, Goggans was a Quality Control Coach working with the wide receivers. In 2018 at CU, Goggans helped in the development of First-Team All-Pac 12 and Second-Team All-American Laviska Shenault Jr. along with sixth-round NFL Draft pick of the Denver Broncos, Juwann Winfree. As a whole, the CU WR core went for 2,754-yards receiving and 16 TD catches in 2018.
Prior to Colorado, Goggans coached the quarterbacks at Western New Mexico University. In 2017 at WNMU, Goggans helped Javia Hall finish second in the Lone Star Conference in passing yards per game with 300.6 and accounted for 24 passing TDs during the regular season.
During the 2016 Season, Goggans coached the quarterbacks and running backs at Louisburg Junior College in North Carolina. At LC, he helped lead the Hurricanes to its first undefeated season in school history. He also had two quarterbacks go on to play FBS and Division II college football while having four of his running backs continue to play for a four-year college football team from FBS to the Division II level.
Before getting into coaching college football, Goggans played quarterback at FCS North Carolina Central University. Goggans was recognized as one of the most important newcomers of the year early in the 2012 season in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference before a knee injury sidelined him the remainder of his time at NCCU.
Goggans graduated from NCCU with a Bachelor's of Arts Degree in Mass Communications in 2014. Eventually, he went on to be a grad transfer and finish up his playing time at Division II Bowie State, where he would lead the Bulldogs to a return CIAA title game for the first time in over 10 years.
Goggans is the Son of Steve and Joyce Goggans. Coach Goggans twin brother Adam Goggans also coaches college football. Goggans is from Pine Grove, California.
