The University of Notre Dame is set to make a big splash in the college football world with the signing of CJ Carr, the grandson of two former Michigan coaches.
CJ Carr is the son of former Michigan quarterback Jason Carr and the grandson of former Michigan head coaches Lloyd Carr and Tom Curtis. Lloyd Carr is a College Football Hall of Fame inductee and was the head coach at Michigan from 1995-2007. Tom Curtis was an assistant coach at Michigan from 1975-1989.
CJ Carr is a three-star quarterback recruit from Detroit Country Day High School. He was ranked as the No. 11 pro-style quarterback in the 2021 class by 247Sports. He also held offers from schools such as Michigan State, Iowa, Minnesota, and Cincinnati.
Notre Dame is getting a talented player in CJ Carr. He has a strong arm and is a dual-threat quarterback who can make plays with his feet. He has good size at 6-foot-4 and 205 pounds and can make all the throws. He also has a good understanding of the game and reads defenses well.
CJ Carr will be joining a Notre Dame team that has been very successful in recent years. The Fighting Irish have made four straight New Year’s Six bowl appearances and have won 10 or more games in each of the last four seasons.
The signing of CJ Carr is a great move for Notre Dame and a great opportunity for him to continue his family’s legacy in college football. With his talent and pedigree, he could be an impact player for the Fighting Irish in the years to come.
