In early July, Patrick Carr opted to transfer from Colorado. Nearly two months later, he has a new college football home.
According to Joseph Duarte of the Houston Chronicle, Carr has been added to Houston’s roster. The running back, at least for the 2016 season, will be a walk-on to the program.
Carr will also spend this season on the sidelines as he will be forced to sit out the season to satisfy NCAA transfer bylaws,. Then, beginning in 2017, he’ll have three years of eligibility to use the next three seasons.
A three-star 2015 signee, Carr was rated as the No. 49 back in the country by 247sports.com.
As a true freshman last season, Carr was fourth on the Buffaloes with 272 yards rushing on 66 carries. He also added 52 yards on five receptions.
A statement from CU head coach Mike MacIntyre at the time of his transfer said that “Patrick is a fine young man who needs to move closer to home back in Texas for family reasons.” He was the No. 84 player at any position in the state of Texas coming out of The Woodlands.
