[edit] Professional
Coggins attended Independence High School in Charlotte, North Carolina. Coggins was not recruited by any major colleges and passed on offers from small schools. While attending a community college in Charlotte in 1998, he attended to a tryout with the Wilmington Hammerheads of the USISL D-3 Pro League who offered him a contract. In 2000, he move to the Charlotte Eagles. In 2001, the Eagles moved up to the second division USL A-League, dropping back to the USL Second Division for the 2004 season. That year, he was the USL-2 scoring leader and league MVP, repeating both titles in 2005, as the Eagles won the league championship. He suffered from injuries during the 2006 season, which limited him to fourteen games. However, he returned strong in 2007, again leading the USL-2 in scoring. On December 5, 2007, Coggins signed with the Carolina RailHawks of the USL First Division.[1] He made his league debut in a 1-1 tie with the Atlanta Silverbacks on April 19, 2008.
[edit] National team
In February 2005, Coggins was called into the U.S. national team training camp when a contract dispute led the first team players to refuse to enter camp. However, Coggins never played a game with the national team.
