CJ Carr explains father's decision to hide Michigan offer

Notre Dame quarterback CJ Carr disclosed that his father, Jason Carr, initially withheld information about an early scholarship offer from Michigan after a strong freshman game. Jason aimed to prevent the pressure associated with early recruitment from affecting CJ's performance and focus. The silence ended when Michigan State also extended an offer shortly afterward, prompting a more open conversation about recruitment. Ultimately, CJ chose Notre Dame over Michigan to pursue an environment that prioritized his growth, despite family ties to the Wolverines. His decision is considered significant in the context of recent Notre Dame recruiting history.
