Daniel Carlson story

Daniel Carlson built his college career from 2013 through 2017 as a placekicker from Colorado Springs, CO wearing No. 38, spending time with Auburn.

His largest box-score season came in 2014 with Auburn. Those numbers show where he fit, how often the ball or action found him, and how his role developed over time.

Special-teams careers depend on repeatable opportunity, not just one highlight. His career also includes 20 rushing yards and 2 tackles, giving the story more than a single-category snapshot.
