He was picked for an all-time Sewanee team,[1] which noted how Gooch would "slash through enemy interference to tackle his man viciously."[2] In his senior year, Gooch was awarded the Porter Cup of the Porter Clothing Company as his university's best all-around athlete.[3] He also appears on Billy Evans's "Southern Honor Roll."[4]
