Impact Carr converted 5-of-6 shots from the field, finishing with 14 points and six rebounds in his collegiate debut. The 6-foot-5 freshman, a top-50 prospect in the class of 2023, immediately slotted into the sixth-man role for the Spartans during Monday's loss to James Madison. Given his solid performance in an otherwise tough outing, it might not be long until Carr works his way into the starting lineup, but he figures to remain heavily involved regardless.
