Carlin said, “I am thankful for the favor of God for my academic and athletic success. All praises and honor go to God!” He gave a special thanks for the “love of my grandparents Tommie and Linda Watson, grandma Hazel Landingham, my parents and siblings, all my uncles, aunts, cousins, and my niece.” He thanked “the Muskegon Big Red coaching and teaching staff for the expertise and guidance they gave.” He also thanked the Big Red fans and “all my team members who kept me encouraged and motivated to do my best.” Finally, he said, “I thank God for the prayers and support of my church family!”
