He is ranked as the No. 1 kicker in the nation according to KohlsKicking.com, and is committed to Auburn.

Carlson has hit on 17-of-27 field goals during his high school career, including 2-of-3 this year, and 51-of-53 PATs. His career long is 52 yards, hit last season.

This year, each of Carlson’s nine kickoffs have gone for a touchback. He had 56 touchbacks in 2015, which ranked second in the state.

A versatile athlete, the 6-foot-5, 195-pound Carlson has also played basketball and soccer in high school. He scored 11 goals for TCA’s boys soccer team last fall while pulling double-duty with football.

Carlson is the younger brother of Daniel Carlson, a 2013 graduate of TCA who is now Auburn’s kicker and kickoff specialist.
