Penn State adds graduate transfer WR
Published:
Penn State has utilized the transfer portal to strengthen its wide receiver position ahead of the fall.
On Saturday night, the Nittany Lions received a commitment from Weston Carr, who spent the last two seasons at Azusa Pacific University, a Division II program. He made his announcement through his Instagram account.
“After 4 amazing years at APU, it is with gratitude that I announce my decision to become a Nittany Lion,” Carr wrote. “Azusa, you are my foundation for this new beginning, and I’m thankful for the love and support you gave me on and off the field. Go Cougs.”
Carr is the younger brother of Austin Carr, who had a spectacular career at Northwestern.
At Azusa Pacific, Carr caught 167 passes for 3,005 yards and 36 touchdowns in three years. He’s a Division II All-American and believes his game will translate to the next level.
Due to transfers and graduation, Penn State has needed to added depth at the wide receiver position entering the 2019 season. Carr’s experience should help bolster that group and he could make an immediate impact for the Nittany Lions in the fall.
As a graduate transfer from a Division II program, Carr will be immediately eligible to participate in the fall. He has one year of eligibility remaining.
