Northern State Athletics Hall of Fame
Kevin Carson made his mark in football and basketball before earning a degree in secondary education and health/physical education composite in 1975. Carson was part of NSU's SDIC conference champion football team in 1972. The following year, he was selected to the all-SDIC team. He repeated that feat as a senior captain in 1974 and was named to the All-NAIA District 12 honor team. He also earned the team's most valuable defensive player award.Â
His achievements go beyond the lines of athletic playing fields. Just as when he was in college, Carson has always been involved with activities outside of competitive athletics. He has served on Langford's board of education, the Hickman Township board, the Langford Lutheran Church Council and the Jaycee board. He has also given his time teaching Sunday school and coaching elementary basketball. During college, he was a member of the NSU collegiate choir, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Kappa Delta Pi and the "N" Club. He earned the Alumni Maroon and Gold Award, presented to NSU's top-ranking students, and was the Gypsy Day Marshal in 1974.
Carson is a self-employed farmer in Langford with his wife Betty.Â
