SAN LUIS OBISPO – Continuing to add depth, length and scoring to the Cal Poly men’s basketball program’s roster, second-year head coach Mike DeGeorge announced recently that 6-7 forward Austin Goode (Brampton, Ontario) has joined the Mustangs ahead of the 2025-26 season.

“Austin is a versatile athlete that can guard all five positions and stretch the floor with his shooting ability,” said DeGeorge, who concluded his first season in March by leading Cal Poly to the Big West Championship semifinals. “He’s also an excellent rebounder. These attributes all fit well with our roster and system. He’s played against high-level competition which will help with his transition to the Big West.”

With four years of eligibility remaining, Goode arrives in San Luis Obispo following a standout 2024-25 season at Bella Vista Prep (Scottsdale, Ariz.) in which he helped lead the squad to a share of the Nike Elite Youth Basketball League scholastic regular season title.

Competing alongside current Mustang guard Peter Bandelj during the 2023-24 season at Royal Crown School – a Toronto preparatory academy – Goode averaged 11.1 points and 8.0 rebounds per 17 games while shooting 45.8 percent from the floor. Assisting Royal Crown to the Ontario Scholastic Basketball Association title, Goode scored in double digits 10 times.

Majoring in business in admiration, Goode is the sixth member of Cal Poly’s incoming 2025-26 class, joining junior guard Jake Davis, sophomore guard Hamad Mousa, freshmen guard Jason Scott and freshman forwards Braden Freeman and Troy Plumtree.
