Carr, a senior from Dublin, Georgia, opened his 2017-18 season going 5-0 and winning the Hokie Open at 184 pounds.
The reigning Southern Conference champion at 184 pounds began the weekend by registering a pin in just 39 seconds against VMI on Saturday. On Sunday, Carr went 4-0 in the Hokie Open with two decisions, a major decision and a technical fall.
