Cortez Carr
About Cortez
Expert Analysis
Josh White | Prep Redzone Scout
Carr has been one of the most productive and versatile young defenders in the state, posting 64 tackles, 9 TFLs, 12 QB pressures, 5 sacks, and 2 PBUs in his eight games. He combines strength and quickness in a way that allows him to impact the game from multiple alignments. He’s strong enough to hold his own as an interior and quick enough to win off the edge while flashing technical polish with bull rushes, rips, and consistently active hands to keep himself clean.
His closing speed and pursuit motor make him equally dangerous as an off-ball linebacker, where he can chase down plays from sideline to sideline, generate second-effort sacks and hustle plays that demoralize offenses.
Carr’s ability to disrupt from multiple spots gives Buckhorn schematic flexibility — whether collapsing pockets or cleaning up in pursuit, he’s the type of all-around playmaker who can tilt a playoff game in their favor.
