Football: Jarritt Goode, a 1995 graduate of Benedictine, has been named his alma mater’s new football coach.

Benedictine will have a new football coach this coming fall.

Jarritt Goode, a 1995 graduate of the school, has been named coach at his alma mater, the school announced Jan. 17.

Carter Welo, who guided the Bengals for the last three years, didn’t have his football contract renewed, according to the school.

“To join the group of coaches that have been at Benedictine is an honor, and I will do my best to carry that tradition in developing not just great players, but great Men of Benedictine,” Goode said in a prepared statement.

“Along with our mother and father, Benedictine has been important to me and my brothers and generations of our family. It is woven into our history.”

In addition to Goode, his older siblings John (1980) and Frank (1981) and nephews Tariq (2002), Wakeem (2005), Najee (2007) and William Cloud (2012) are Benedictine alumni.

Najee Goode is a veteran NFL linebacker, most recently with the Colts, who spent five seasons with the Eagles prior to heading to Indianapolis. He played his college football at West Virginia.

Jarritt Goode was a senior captain and first-team All-Ohio linebacker on the Bengals’ 1994 state final four squad that went 103. He also played on Augie Bossu’s last Bengals team

in 1993 that went 6-5 and made the playoffs.

He later went on to be a three-year starter at linebacker and defensive end at Youngstown State and was on the Penguins’ 1997 Division I-AA national championship team, coached by Jim Tressel.

Goode was the defensive line coach at his alma mater this past fall and is also Dean of Men at the school.

“I’m really happy that Jarritt Goode is heading up our football program,” Benedictine athletic director Marty Hyland said. “When he was a student, and now as a coach, he showed great leadership abilities.”

The Bengals went 13-18 under Welo the last three seasons, including a 4-6 mark this past season.
