Michael Carr brings veteran leg strength and game-tested punting to San Jose State
Michael Carr has been a steady presence for San Jose State, with a career average of 37.6 yards per punt and a 2026 gross average of 38.1 yards, while his 2002 season numbers show he could flip field position when he’s striking it cleanly[1][2]. The bigger story is the polish: he already has three seasons with the Spartans, and past coverage noted he was sidelined by a foot injury before returning, so his value is in experience, durability, and handling pressure snaps rather than pure booming distance[1][2][3].
