The Michigan Wolverines will have an in-state prospect sign in their 2026 class after all, as three-star quarterback Tommy Carr has flipped his commitment from Miami (Ohio), announced on Sunday afternoon.
The 6-foot-3.5, 195-pounder hails from Saline and plays ball at Saline High School. He is the brother of Notre Dame quarterback CJ Carr and the grandson of legendary national championship-winning Michigan head coach Lloyd Carr.

As a senior this season, Carr completed 176-of-254 passes for 2,737 yards, 37 touchdowns and six interceptions. He also ran 49 times for 276 yards and eight scores.
247Sports’ Hudson Standish wrote an updated scouting report on Carr yesterday and had this to say:
– Physically gifted signal-caller estimated to hover around 6-foot-3.5, 190 pounds, who exits high school football with an 18-5 record as a starter.
– Immense football pedigree is reflected on game tape. Operates with ideal timing and efficiency working through his progressions and will quickly find answers when pressured.
– Above average arm talent, but made strides throwing with velocity over the middle of the field as a senior. Will routinely rip seams and digs into tight windows.
– Functional athleticism and dynamic movement patterns translate from the hardwood. Crafty runner with plenty of short-area quickness who can make rushers whiff as he is extending plays or evading defenders in the open field.
– Best element of his game is making high degree of difficulty anticipatory touch throws look effortless. Seasoned back-shoulder thrower with no shortage of confidence challenging man coverage. Displayed positive flashes layering the football into zone coverage.
– Profiles as an eventual P4 caliber starter in a pro-spread system who can run an offense with efficiency and create explosives.
– Possesses the physical traits, between-the-ears intangibles, and off-script playmaking prowess to potentially merit NFL Draft consideration.
Carr is the first player from the state of Michigan and the second quarterback to commit to the Wolverines’ 2026 class, as he joins four-star passer Brady Smigiel. With Smigiel recovering from a torn ACL he suffered earlier this fall, it makes sense for Sherrone Moore and company to take a chance on an in-state prospect with major ties to the university.
Carr is ranked No. 18 in the state of Michigan, No. 49 at the quarterback position and No. 962 overall in the class, per 247Sports’ composite. Check out some of his senior year highlights below.
