He was the #2 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 made his senior debut as an 18-year old at the Dave Schultz Memorial International. He firstly won two bouts in a row with a notable win over four-time NCAA Division I All-American Dylan Ness before being thrown to the consolation bracket by the accomplished Olympian Frank Molinaro in a very close 8-9 decision. He then faced another DI All-American in Sammy Sasso, whom he also lost to on points.[16]

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. He was then defeated by four-time All-American Brandon Sorensen and three-timer Lavion Mayes, but still competed for the bronze-medal against Franklin Maren, whom he defeated to claim the medal.[17]
