Connor Carson - Foundation Academy

Connor is a versatile offensive lineman from Foundation Academy in the Orlando, Florida-area. As a senior he played primarily as a center, though he also played some right tackle and left tackle, and even some nose. He'll be a nice addition anywhere along our offensive line! Connor helped lead his team to 22 wins in three years and we're excited to add him to what is turning into a very good class of '22. Can't wait to get you up here Connor!

The Honor G

The Honor G, the official emblem of Grinnell College athletics, was first used at the Iowa state track championship in 1892. Designed by Earnest "Skip" Atherton, class of 1895, the original Honor G consisted of a scarlet maltese cross with a black "I and "C" (for Iowa College) superimposed on the cross. Two years later in 1894, the "I" and "C" were replaced by a black gothic "G", and the modern day Honor G was born. The gothic "G", which was also used on letter sweaters and is now used on letter jackets, was replaced by an Old English "G" in the mid-1930's. After some protest, it was quickly changed back to the gothic "G", and it has remained unchanged since that time.
