Overview

• Carr beat out Kenny Minchey after a closely contested fall-camp competition that extended into August.
• The redshirt freshman will make his first career start on Aug. 31 at No. 10 Miami.
• Carr has appeared in one college game and has not attempted a collegiate pass.
• Coaches emphasized decision-making in the evaluation and intend to lean on a veteran line plus backs Jeremiyah Love and Jadarian Price.
• The race was shaped by Riley Leonard’s departure to the NFL and Steve Angeli’s transfer to Syracuse, which left Carr and Minchey as the finalists.
