Northwestern WR Austin Carr a talented performer on and off the field

Nerves aren't tiptoeing the end zone sideline for the game-tying touchdown catch in a critical early season Big Ten game. You want nerves? Try auditioning for the spring high school musical as a freshman by singing Frank Sinatra's "Luck Be A Lady." Or prepping for the California state finals of Poetry Out Loud, a national poetry recitation contest. Or sitting on stage with nothing but a chair and a Casio keyboard, performing renditions of Kings of Leon's "Use Somebody" and John Legend's "Ordinary People" in a college student-athlete talent show.

Meet Northwestern fifth-year senior wide receiver Austin Carr.
