Goodson played three years of soccer at the University of Maryland, which he joined in 2000. After redshirting in 2001, Goodson helped anchor the defence of one of the best teams in college soccer. In his career at Maryland, Goodson played 66 games, registering 10 goals and 11 assists.
After his junior year, Goodson signed a Project-40 with MLS, entering the 2004 MLS SuperDraft as an underclassman, where he was drafted seventh overall by the Dallas Burn. In his first year with the Burn, Goodson played only 247 league minutes in 5 games; however, he saw extended action in Cup competitions and exhibitions, and looks likely to be an important part of the team's defense in 2005.
