Richard Goodall and his wife, Angie, recently celebrated a major milestone by securing their dream home in Terre Haute, Indiana, thanks to their $1 million prize. However, another significant moment is on the horizon for Goodall, as he prepares to step into the spotlight once again—this time at Indiana State University.
The Indiana State University Athletic Department is thrilled to announce that Richard Goodall, winner of Season 19 of America’s Got Talent, will sing the National Anthem at the Indiana State men’s basketball home opener against Eureka College on November 7. Adding to the excitement, Goodall will also deliver a special halftime performance, marking his return to live audiences with his powerhouse vocals.
Goodall rose to national fame after receiving Heidi Klum’s Golden Buzzer during his America’s Got Talent audition. His journey to the finals was marked by moving renditions of Michael Bolton’s How Am I Supposed to Live Without You, Survivor’s Eye of the Tiger, and Journey’s Faithfully. He ultimately claimed victory with a memorable finale performance of Don’t Stop Believin’ alongside Neal Schon and members of Journey, cementing his place in AGT history.
As Indiana State men’s basketball comes off an extraordinary season—having secured the Missouri Valley Conference regular-season title and reaching the NIT Championship Game—Goodall’s performance promises to add a new layer of excitement to the team’s upcoming opener and the fans eagerly awaiting the new season.
