Lacrosse captain Taylor Carson signs with Birmingham-Southern

Taylor Carson, a Mountain Brook High School senior all-state attackman and 2016 captain for the varsity lacrosse team, committed to Birmingham-Southern College to continue his lacrosse career.

Taylor, son of Anna and Chris Carson, is a three-year starter for the team. He scored 25 goals and contributed 15 assists in his sophomore season. 

As a junior, he led the team with 35 goals and was named to the all-state team. He was named a team captain at the start of the 2016 season. 

“I have coached Taylor since his eighth-grade season when he started for the undefeated 2012 U15 state champions,” Mountain Brook lacrosse team head coach Brian Doud said during Carson’s signing ceremony. “Since then, he has improved his game each season and played a key role in our team reaching the state semifinals in 2015. 

“His commitment to Birmingham-Southern College is a testament to his perseverance, leadership, pursuit of excellence and commitment to win. Coach Casey Kear at BSC is getting one of our program’s best players.”

Birmingham-Southern College competes in NCAA Division III lacrosse in the Southern Athletic Association.
