Patrick Carr transferring from Colorado

Sophomore running back Patrick Carr has left the Colorado Buffaloes football program.

As a true freshman last season from The Woodlands, Texas, Carr ranked fourth on the team with 272 rushing yards on 66 carries. He showed flashes throughout the season but his brightest came against UCLA where he rushed for 100 yards and one TD. In addition to football, Carr was a member of track and field squad during the spring, sprinting for the Buffs.

Carr could have had a bright future with the Buffs but the backfield seems crowded, especially with the addition of incoming freshman Beau Bisharat. Along with the 6-foot-2, 210-pound four-star recruit CU has Juniors Michael Adkins II, Phillip Lindsay and Donovan Lee. Adkins has rushed for 1,145 yards in 22 career games, while Lindsay has 1,044 yards in 25 games. Lee was moved from wide receiver into the backfield last year he gained 286 yards on 49 carries. Also on the roster is redshirt freshman Dino Gordon, who is suspended and working his way back to the team after an off-the-field incident this offseason.
