AUBURN, Ala. — The Southeastern Conference's leading scorer is more than just kicks. Auburn's Daniel Carlson has been recognized for his academics and his community service, too.

Carlson, a finalist for the Lou Groza Award as the nation's top kicker, was named a second-team Academic All-American by the College Sports Information Directors of America on Thursday. Wednesday, he was selected as Auburn's representative on the SEC football community service team for his positive work in the local community.

Carlson graduated in August with a 3.66 grade-point average in finance.
