Carr Signs with Men's Soccer
Taylor men's soccer coach Gary Ross has announced the signing of central midfielder Kyle Carr to the 2013 season roster.
The 6-foot midfielder had a successful high school career scoring two career goals along with 28 assists. Carr was a part of Florida High School Class 5A state championship team in 2010. He was also named to the Cape Coast All-Conference team his sophomore and junior year along with serving as team captain his junior year.
The Indialantic, Fla., native has been a part of the Orlando City U.S. Soccer Development Academy and was a captain of the 95 Olympic Development Program.
"Kyle is a fine young man and a fine player who has played at a very high level," Ross said. "Being in the United States Development academy has meant he had to forego playing high school ball his senior year. That demonstrates a significant commitment to the sport and one that we anticipate will greatly help us. I am sure it's not a coincidence that where he's gone, championships have followed. That he carries himself with humility given his success is impressive. He has a strong work rate, a wide range of technical abilities, and we look forward to Kyle being a Trojan in the years to come."
Carr is undecided about what he wants to study upon coming to Taylor, but is considering majoring in education.
"A huge part of college sports is the relationships you make with both your coaches and your teammates," Carr said. "When I visited Taylor I felt so welcomed by Coach Ross, Coach Miller, and the whole team. I want to be a part of a team whose goal is to not only succeed on the field but to also help each other succeed in becoming closer to Christ."
