LOS ANGELES — University of Texas senior guard Marcus Carr is one of 50 preseason watch list candidates for the John R. Wooden Award presented by Wendy’s. Chosen by a preseason poll of national college basketball experts, the list is comprised of 50 student-athletes who are the early front-runners for the most prestigious honors in college basketball, the Wooden Award All-American Team and Most Outstanding Player Award.

Carr was previously tabbed the Big 12 Preseason Newcomer of the Year and named to the six-person Preseason All-Big 12 Team. In addition, he was one of 20 players selected to the watch list for the 2022 Bob Cousy Award, honoring the nation’s top point guard, and one of 20 players named to the preseason watch list for the NABC Division I Player of the Year award.

Carr played in 92 career games (87 starts) during his previous two years on the court at Minnesota and one season at Pittsburgh and registered collegiate totals of 1,361 points (14.8 ppg), 477 assists (5.2 apg) and 370 rebounds (4.0 rpg). Carr earned All-Big Ten First Team (Associated Press) recognition last season at Minnesota, where he ranked first in the Big Ten in minutes played (35.8 mpg), third in scoring (19.4 ppg) and assists (4.9 apg) and sixth in assist-to-turnover ratio (2.1).
