Will Carr Graduates

Nice story. For those of us around in the early to mid 90s, Will was a quality interior D lineman. Also played some fullback, IIRC.

young man. Getting a degree from one of the world's top academic institutions is something to be very proud of. Go Blue!
December 19th, 2015 at 7:20 AM ^
he's 40. more like congrats, middle-aged football coach. i bet that had to be a unique dynamic going to class with kids he coaches. good for him.
December 19th, 2015 at 8:18 AM ^
I wish I was at all skilled with embedding. The perfect reply is Mike Gundy's rant. I'm 40! I'm a man!
December 19th, 2015 at 9:04 AM ^

This is awesome. Yes, he did play some fullback, Refrig. Perry style.
December 19th, 2015 at 1:14 AM ^
...and left the ball on the 1 yard line in a close loss against Purdue.
Great story, glad to see him succeed!
December 19th, 2015 at 8:16 AM ^
Shhhhhhh! You're ruining his momment.

Is he related to Lloyd Carr?
December 19th, 2015 at 6:03 AM ^
I don't think they are closely related.

From two of Seth's columns from 2012, comparing past D-line stats with the then new group, the second titled:
Michigan Museday Wants Another Other Carr
I have a feeling he's going to do more good things for D-lines in the future.
December 19th, 2015 at 7:35 AM ^
could still kick some ass on the D-line!
However, Lloyd may a season in the weight room before he rejoins Will up front...

And blue hats with an "M", so they do look alike from that standpoint.

Yikes. A bit over the line, perhaps?

Will Carr my freshman football coach. Broke a broom over his knee during halftime of the first game.

As a fb on a goal line play against Purdue in 96. Lost the game because of it.
In all seriousness, congrats to WC! Well earn!

had better NOT be part of the "Down in front!" and 'sit on your hands and complain instead of make noise at games' crowd.
I am still pissed off at the lack of fan energy and noise at the Ohio State game.
Rant over.

His return to school has made for some unique moments, considering some of his classmates are players he coaches. Carr used the opportunity to challenge the players to beat his grades and grade point average. But they challenged him, too.
I actually hadn't realized Carr did not graduate.
I like how he said "eighteen mature years later" at one point in the discussion and talked about wanting to set an example for his son though. It takes a lot of detrmination and strength of character to want to do this nearly twenty years after you began, and that's a pretty good example to set indeed. Congratulations to Carr!
December 19th, 2015 at 12:50 PM ^
Does the APR for the 96' team go up now?
December 19th, 2015 at 1:28 PM ^
Life is not a race. You don't get extra points for graduating at age 21. Will Carr stepped up and completed his degree in style at age 40.
Congrats, big guy!

I lived in Yuma when he was coaching Randy Gregory at Arizona Western. (My sons' first football games were Arizona Western games.) It may only be Arizona JuCo, but those teams dominated their opposition on both sides of the ball. I am glad to see him follow his dream back to Michigan and graduate. Best of luck to him. I am sure he will land a staff position soon somewhere.

Congrats, Will!
