Now the younger Carr has a chance to create a new legacy for the family that grew up in college football's winningest program — with one of the sport's most prestigious schools, No. 6 Notre Dame. Coach Marcus Freeman ended the quarterback competition Tuesday by selecting Carr as the starter and putting the former Michigan prep star under the spotlight in next Sunday night's season opener at No.

Notre Dame has finally made a decision on its starting quarterback for the 2025 season, announcing that redshirt freshman CJ Carr has won the starting quarterback battle and will open up for the Irish in the season opener against Miami (Fla.) on August 31.

CJ Carr will be Notre Dame’s starting quarterback when the No. 6 Irish open the season at No. 10 Miami on Aug. 31.
