“First off, I would like to thank God for his blessings allowing me to play the sport I love at the collegiate level. I would like to thank my loved ones for their sacrifices to support me playing this game,” Carr’s post read. “With that being said, I will be entering my name into the transfer portal with one year of eligibility left. I am looking forward to my next opportunity to continue my student athlete career.”
