Tommy Carr Eyes Starting Role at Michigan Amid Family Legacy
Tommy Carr, a true freshman quarterback for the Michigan Wolverines, is already drawing attention as he prepares for his first season in Ann Arbor. The youngster carries a distinctive pedigree: he is the grandson of Lloyd Carr, who guided Michigan to a national championship in 1997, and the older brother of CJ Carr, a standout quarterback at Notre Dame. Recruited as a four‑star prospect from Saline High School, Carr initially pledged to Miami (Oh.) before flipping his commitment to Michigan in November 2025, choosing to enroll early and join spring practices. During the spring game he displayed a dual‑threat skill set, throwing for 143 yards while adding 59 on the ground, numbers that have impressed coaches and teammates alike. Head coach Kyle Whittingham has publicly praised Carr’s confidence and leadership, noting that the freshman’s ability to read defenses and manage the huddle sets him apart, even as he continues to add muscle and refine his frame. With Bryce Underwood slated as the starter, Carr’s primary competition comes from transfer Brayden Fowler‑Nicolosi, but the coaching staff sees Carr as a potential game‑changer who could see meaningful snaps and eventually push Underwood for the starting role.
