Family Ties on Display
CJ Carr attended his brother's first career start for Michigan during Notre Dame's Week 8 bye. The elder Carr, a signal-caller for the Irish, sat in the Big House boxes and used binoculars to follow the action closely. Their family roots run deep at the school, with paternal grandfather Lloyd Carr having coached a national title winner and maternal grandfather Tom Curtis having earned All-America honors as a player.
Path to the Starting Role
Tommy Carr flipped his commitment from Miami (Ohio) to Michigan in November 2025. He stepped into the starting lineup and guided the Wolverines to a 21-18 win over Penn State the previous Saturday. The timing aligned perfectly for the brothers to share the moment without divided loyalties.
Unified Fandom for One Week
For at least this week the Carr family can focus attention on Ann Arbor rather than splitting it between there and South Bend. CJ's presence added a personal note to Tommy's milestone game against Indiana.
