“Excited to announce I am transferring to the University of Kentucky for my graduate season,” Carr wrote on Twitter. “I know what it means to wear Kentucky across my chest and couldn’t be more ready to get to work!! Go Cats!”

Carr played high school basketball at West Chester East in West Chester (PA) where he was an unranked, unrated recruit in the 2020 cycle according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.
