Carr was tabbed as the No. 934 ranked player (No. 127 wide receiver) in On3’s Transfer Portal Rankings.
The former Southern Utah receiver is the latest addition out of the Transfer Portal for newly hired Kentucky head coach Will Stein. Stein, who pulled double duty as Oregon‘s offensive coordinator until its loss to Indiana in Semifinals of the College Football Playoff, explained his recruiting philosophy at his introductory press conference.
“Guys still want to be recruited old school,” Stein said. “You have to know mom, grandma, aunt, coach. Have you to be completely entrenched in these people’s lives. When you can do that, you don’t always have to be the highest bidder. If the first conversation is about money, probably not the place for you. Not because lack of it. We have plenty of that here.”
“I talked to about 10,000 people at the basketball game, all willing and supportive of the program. I know we have that. But that can’t be the first thing you talk about. I want guys that love football, that want to compete every single day, be the best version of themselves and win.”
