A 1980 second-team Associated Press All-American, he recorded 13 tackles in his collegiate debut and his most productive year was as a sophomore, when he tallied 87 tackles (62 unassisted) and 14 tackles for losses. He finished his collegiate career with 281 tackles, including 34 behind the line of scrimmage. He was inducted into the University of Oregon Hall of Fame in 2002.
Thought too small for the National Football League, Goldsmith came to Canada and played for 10 years.
He was also an all Canadian all star in 1983. He played 17 games for the Toronto Argonauts in 1984, and played 3 years (1985 to 1987) with the Calgary Stampeders.
His career total of 130.5 sacks is fifth best in Canadian Football League history.
