247Sports ranks CJ Carr seventh among 2026 quarterbacks

247Sports has ranked Notre Dame quarterback CJ Carr seventh in its list of top quarterbacks for the 2026 season. Carr's positioning comes after a notable first season as a starter, where he garnered significant attention and expectations for the upcoming fall. Despite typically being placed in the top five, he trails behind players such as Ohio State's Julian Saying and Texas' Arch Manning. The ranking suggests that while Carr has potential, the Irish's running game may face challenges, along with a perceived easier schedule. Analysts anticipate that Carr will improve and be a contender for national awards this season.
