CJ Carr, the grandson of legendary Michigan head coach Lloyd Carr, is close to choosing where he will go to college, but it may not be in Ann Arbor. According to 247 Sports, Notre Dame is the favorite to land the high school quarterback.
247 Sports director of recruiting Steve Wiltfong explained why the Fighting Irish may be leading the way despite Carr’s connection to Michigan.
“Notre Dame’s done a terrific job of recruiting CJ Carr. He’s been to camp several times,” Wiltfong said. “I know he fell in love with the place, his first-ever time on campus, over a year ago. Was back in South Bend over the weekend for Irish Invasion. Tom Reese, Notre Dame’s offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach, has led the charge there. Marcus Freeman’s made a big impression. The way Notre Dame's recruited in 2023, with the No. 1 class in the country, excites CJ Carr.”
