Anders Carlson named preseason All-American by Walter Camp

Auburn senior kicker Anders Carlson has been named to the Walter Camp preseason All-American second team.

We are going on the eighth straight season of someone with the last name Carlson will handle kicking duties for Auburn.

First, it was Daniel Carlson from 2014-18, the SEC’s all-time leading point scorer and, four the fourth straight year, it will be Anders Carlson, Daniel’s younger brother.

Anders is getting some recognition going into his senior season as he has been named to the second team on Walter Camp’s preseason All-American list.

Carlson finished last season 20-of-22 on field goal attempts, including the game-winner against Arkansas, while making all but one extra point attempt. His efforts earned him first team All-SEC by the Associated Press following the season.
