Notre Dame Selects CJ Carr as Starting Quarterback
August 19, 2025 - 21:04
In a pivotal decision for the Fighting Irish, head coach Marcus Freeman announced on Tuesday that second-year quarterback CJ Carr has been named the starting quarterback for the upcoming season. This announcement puts an end to the preseason competition that had been closely watched between Carr and fellow quarterback Kenny Minchey.
Carr, who has shown promise during training camp, will now take the reins of an offense that aims to make significant strides this year. His ability to read defenses and execute plays effectively has impressed the coaching staff, leading to his selection as the starter. Meanwhile, Minchey, who put forth a strong effort in the competition, will continue to develop and provide depth at the position.
The decision comes as Notre Dame prepares for a challenging schedule ahead, and Carr will be tasked with leading the team on the field. The coaching staff and fans alike are eager to see how the young quarterback will perform in the upcoming games.
