Adrian Goodacre is the second player in Carthage's strong senior class to commit to a Division I FBS program.

The news of Goodacre's commitment to Louisiana-Lafayette came early Friday afternoon, when Goodacre confirmed his pledge via text after teammate Terian "Tee" Goree alerted ETSN.fm of Goodacre's commitment.

The ULL commitment came shortly after the 6-foot-4, 310-pound Goodacre received a morning offer from Houston, which is his second FBS offer in addition to the Ragin' Cajuns. Goodacre also has two D-I FCS offers from Abilene Christian and SFA.

Goodacre was a third-team selection to ETSN.fm's Football Super Team in January. After playing right guard as a junior, Goodacre could move outside to left tackle, which would give Carthage a huge left side with him and guard Griffin Bankhead, a 6-foot-3, 301-pounder who was named to the ETSN.fm Super Team First Team.

Goodacre is a key cog in a Carthage offensive line that returns intact after helping the Bulldogs average 42.1 points per game in 2012. Carthage, which is the consensus preseason No. 1 team in Class 3A entering 2013, has 10 returning offensive starters, including UTSA-committed quarterback Blake Bogenschutz, tailback Tevin Pipkin, and receivers O'Keeron Rutherford and Goree.

Rutherford also holds a ULL offer, while Goree holds six offers: ULL, Colorado State, Louisiana Tech, Memphis, ULM, and UTSA.

East Texas' 2013 football class produced 17 FBS signees. The 2014 class has 30 players with at least one FBS offer and 16 who have already committed.
