Tennessee’s glass-crashing, high-effort frontcourt piece
Carey is a productive, physical forward who gives Tennessee real value with rebounding, interior finishing, and hustle—he averaged 7.4 points and 6.0 rebounds in the 2025-26 season, and Tennessee noted he ranked 10th nationally in offensive rebounding percentage at 17.1%. His differentiator is effort: he consistently creates extra possessions, plays through contact, and brings energy in limited minutes, which makes him a strong fit for teams that want toughness and rim pressure more than polished shot creation.
