Jordan Carstens
In response to my last column about professional athletes from ACGC and Panorama high schools, Panorama Activities Director Greg Thompson told me I should look into Jordan Carstens. What a great tip that was.
Carstens was born in Carroll and attended high school at Panorama where he was a standout defensive tackle. In his time as a Panther, he was named third-team All-State by The Des Moines Register. Carstens would walk-on at Iowa State University to play for the Cyclones from 1999-2003. By his sophomore season, Carstens became a staple on the cardinal and gold’s defense. He had 71 tackles and was named to the Big 12 Conference third-team. The Panorama graduate had his best season as a junior when he recorded 97 tackles, 13 tackles for losses and six sacks. He was named All Big 12 second-team. He finished his career at ISU with 306 tackles, 23 for losses and 10 sacks. During his time at ISU, he was also named to several all-academic teams. Carstens would go undrafted but would land with the Carolina Panthers from 2004-2006. He played in 29 games and had 50 tackles, four sacks and two forced fumbles. Carstens would retire to kidney-related health problems. Click HERE and scroll to slide two to see Carstens in action for the Carolina Panthers.
