C.J. Carr, a Quarterback from Saline, Michigan, Seeks His Own Path by Committing to Notre Dame

C.J. Carr carries Michigan football royalty to Notre Dame from Saline High School.

The Carr family bleeds Michigan blue. C.J.'s grandfather and father both played for the Wolverines. But the Saline High School quarterback chose a different path, committing to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.

Carr started playing football later than most elite prospects, making his rapid development even more impressive. His physical tools and competitive nature caught Notre Dame's attention, and the proximity to Michigan allows family to attend games easily. It's his own legacy to build now.
