During his collegiate career at Wright State, Goecke established himself as a formidable golfer, holding the records for the Wright State Career Scoring Average and the Single Season Scoring Average. He was an integral member of the 2022 Horizon League Championship Team and clinched the title of 2023 Horizon League Individual Champion. His consistent performance earned him the title of Horizon League Player of the Year twice and a place on the Horizon League First Team three times. Goecke's tenure at Wright State was marked by seven individual tournament victories, highlighting his competitive edge and skill.

After his time at Wright State, Goecke continued to excel at the University of Illinois.
