• From Greta Otto, "Carson has an unwavering passion for chemistry, a tireless pursuit of knowledge, and a dedication to understanding the intricacies of the chemical world, inspiring classmates and teachers alike. He's also ready to explain the difference between a metaphor, a simile and an analogy to his English-inept AP Chem teacher!"

• From Coach Martin, "Carson has that big brother energy around him. I believe only coaches and players will understand when I say this, but whenever he was on the court, you knew that he was going to do his job and lead by example. The role of a big brother is to be that role model and help your younger siblings grow in the world and I believe he did that on the court"
