Kirby Smart and the Georgia Bulldogs are well acquainted with the ruthless nature of college football recruiting. Even long-time commitments are never truly secure, as Georgia has seen players pledged to the program for years reverse course late in the process and commit elsewhere.
One example dates back to 2023 and centers on Ny Carr. The Colquitt County High School standout from Moultrie, Georgia, was a 4-star recruit in the Class of 2024. Per 247Sports, Carr ranked No. 67 nationally and was the No. 15 wide receiver in the cycle.
Carr committed to Georgia in July 2022, a few weeks after attending a UGA camp. He was committed for a little over a year before decommitting in Sept. 2023 and flipping to Miami that Oct.
Ny Carr plans to enter the transfer portal
In Carr’s two seasons at The U, he’s recorded four catches for 53 yards and no touchdowns.
He actually tested the transfer portal last April before withdrawing from it roughly a week later.

This time, he appears ready to test it again. Hayes Fawcett of On3 broke the news on Tuesday that Carr would be entering the portal when it opens on Jan. 2.
Fawcett noted that Carr will have three years of eligibility remaining.
A dynamic playmaker from Colquitt County, Carr put together a record-setting high school career. Carr closed his prep career with 3,195 receiving yards and 44 touchdowns, averaging 18.9 yards per reception.
Tennessee recruited him last year during his short stint in the portal. But he opted to return to Miami.
Carr’s shot at Georgia resurfaced after transfer portal announcement
Shortly after On3 reported that Carr planned to enter the transfer portal, Georgia fans began resurfacing an old post from the wide receiver.
That post was from late at night on Oct. 7, 2023, when Carr was visiting Miami. He had already decommitted from Georgia at this point.
Georgia had just beaten Kentucky 51-13 behind tight end Brock Bowers’ big night. Bowers recorded seven catches for 132 yards and a touchdown.
But Bowers was not the only Georgia pass-catcher to perform that day. Wide receiver Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint had 99 yards and a touchdown, and RaRa Thomas had 63 yards and a score.
Carr was more focused on Bowers, posting what looked like a shot at UGA’s offense and how much it utilized the star tight end.
“100 times to a (tight end) is crazy,” he wrote. “Why would i do that and I play (wide receiver)?”
Georgia reporter Graham Coffey, founder of Dawgs Central, replied, pointing out that a few receivers also had nice days:
“Former UGA WR commit seemingly tweeting about the amount of targets UGA gives to Brock Bowers. Wasn’t on my bingo card on a night where Beck had +300 YDS in the 1st half and UGA’s boundary duo of Rosemy/Thomas had 9 REC’s, 162 YDS & 2 TD’s”
Carr replied, saying:
“they could’ve been doing that all year ian hating im just saying i want to be in a mix of something that building not some where that yeen got nowhere to go but down be mindful of that”
