Wyatt S. Goins ('93) graduated from Urbana University in 1993 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration. Wyatt was a Blue Knight basketball player from 1990-93. He was an essential component of Urbana's two NAIA National Championship appearances in 1992 and 1993. The Knights made it to the Sweet Sixteen in 1992 and followed that by advancing to the Elite Eight in 1993, where Urbana University won the Naismith-Linston Team Award for Sportsmanship.

Wyatt was selected as an NAIA Men's Basketball All-American Honorable Mention in Division I in 1992. That season, as a junior, he was ranked eighth, nationally, in three-point shooting (85/187 45.5 %). He was honored as an All-Mid Ohio Conference and District 22 player. He holds the UU single season record for three-point field goals (128) and also for a single game (10 vs. Cedarville). Wyatt and his twin brother Wade appeared in Sports Illustrated's "Faces in the Crowd" on March 22, 1993.

Wyatt's coach Bob Ronai was quoted in 1992 as saying, "Wyatt is one of the best 3-point shooters in the country...he has improved tremendously on his defense, especially since he is constantly having to play bigger guards..."

Wyatt is the son of William and Marion Goins. Wyatt's older brother Will, also a Blue Knight, influenced him and his brother Wade to transfer to Urbana in 1990. Wyatt and his wife Kim have three children: Alexis, 1, Jacob, 4, and Jeremiah 11. Wyatt and his brother Wade are co-owners of Innovative Marketing in Cincinnati.
