Anders Carlson has been a stable kicker for Auburn so far this season and he’s now getting some recognition.
On Monday, Carlson was named one of the 20 semifinalists for the Lou Groza National Collegiate Place-Kicker Award. This is nothing new to the Carlson family as Daniel, Anders’ older brother, was a finalist for the award three years in a row during his time on the Plains.
In his junior season, Carlson has made 15-of-17 field goal attempts and missed just one extra point out of 23 tries. Also handling kickoff duties, he has recorded 30 touchbacks.
Carlson is joined by Florida’s Evan McPherson, Missouri’s Harrison Mevis, Georgia’s Jack Podlesny, Alabama’s Will Reichard and LSU’s Cade York as representatives from the SEC.
