Folkstyle career[]
High school[]
Carr was a five-time state champion. He won his first title as an eighth grader in Kentucky and he then moved to Perry High School in Ohio, where he won four state (OHSAA) titles. He was the number two ranked recruit overall and the top-ranked recruit at 165 pounds by FloWrestling when he committed to Iowa State University over Ohio State, Oklahoma State and many others.[3][1] He received the Dave Schultz High School Excellence Award in the memory of Dave Schultz.[4]

Carr arrived to ISU to wrestle as a Cyclone at 157 pounds after committing in October 2017.[5]
2018-19[]
While redshirting, Carr compiled a 23–1 record wrestling unattached at open tournaments. He claimed titles at four of the five tournaments he competed on and claimed third-place at the tournament he lost in.[6]
2019-20[]
Carr had an outstanding freshman season competing as a Cyclone, compiling an 18–1 record overall and an unbeaten 9–0 at dual meets.[7] Lone loss was suffered at the Cliff Keen Invitational to the second-ranked Ryan Deakin.[8] Post-season, he became the fifth Cyclone freshman to claim a Big 12 Conference title with notable wins over the #18 and #7 wrestlers in the country.[9] Carr was scheduled to compete at the NCAA championships as the third seed,[10] however, the event was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, leaving him and all the qualifiers unable to compete.[11] After the season ended, he was named a first team NCAA Division I All-American due to his performance through the season.[12][13]

In October 2020, the NCAA granted an extra year of eligibility to winter athletes due to the last season being cut short.[14] Carr is currently competing as a sophomore, and compiled a 12–0 record with three falls, four technical falls, three majors and two decisions during regular season.[7] During post-season, he has claimed his second straight Big 12 title.[15], and his first NCAA Championship at 157 pounds.

He then faced another DI All-American in Sammy Sasso, whom he also lost to on points.[19]
Carr then went on to compete at the Granma y Cerro Pelado International. He once again defeated two opponents in a row with a victory over an NCAA Division I All-American in Anthony Collica.
