A first team All-District and second team All-MAC honoree in 1969, Cariss held 13 Kent State records at the time of his graduation. He was a three-year letter winner, team captain in 1969 and a second team All-District pick in 1968. Nearly 40 years later, the Philadelphia, Pa., native still stands fourth in KSU annals in career stolen bases (44) and fourth in steals in a season (23 in 1968). Cariss led the Flashes in runs (32) during the 1968 season, and in at bats (89), hits (26) and runs (26) in 1969.
