Preston Carr anchors ECU’s defensive front and enters 2026 with all-conference buzz
In the 2026 season, Preston Carr is projected to open as a starter for East Carolina after playing a key role on last year’s defensive front, and he’s already drawing preseason recognition as a first-team All-American Conference pick from Sports Info Solutions and a third-team selection from Pro Football Network. At 6-3 and 313 pounds, he brings classic interior-DL power with proven loyalty, toughness, and enough disruption to keep NFL-level attention in the conversation. If your team wants a seasoned, physical trench plug who can hold up inside and set the tone, Carr is absolutely the kind of player worth caring about.
