Michigan Football target Maliq Carr is putting up some impressive numbers as the Wolverines continue to work on securing his commitment.

Oak Park High School will be losing a terrific athlete in 2020 after star wide receiver Maliq Carr departs for what we all hope is Michigan football. All indications point to Carr’s impending commitment, especially changing his Twitter profile picture to one of him wearing the maize and blue uniform.

Yet, this story is not about whether the three-star receiver will play for Michigan football, rather this is a story about Maliq’s performance at The Opening Regional in Ohio where he received a 121.20 football rating, placing him in the 99th percentile of The Opening Athletes tested and earning him the MVP award for receivers.

To put everything in perspective, Carr would be in the top 20 athletes for the 2019 class. The football player with the highest grade was Auburn commit Owen Pappoe who garnered a rating of 147.12 and second was Michigan Football‘s top commit Daxton Hill with a rating of 143.76.

For a “three-star,” this kid is something special.

Who is Maliq Carr?

Maliq is a 6-foot-6, 230-pound wide receiver who attends Oak Park High School, a team that went 9-2 with Carr on the roster in 2018.

The junior amassed 21 catches for 815 yards this past season, nine of the catches resulted in touchdowns.

“It was a big jump between sophomore and junior season,” said Carr’s stepfather and Oak Park assistant coach William McMichael. “His freshman year, he had a good year on JV. But this year was a big jump in touchdowns and receptions, he was better running routes, and he worked hard in the weight room, and you can see that strength in his highlights from stiff-arms to snatching the ball away from defenders who are right there. He made great strides, but we need to keep working to get to where we want to get to.”

Carr currently holds offers from all of the top colleges including Texas A&M whom Maliq will be making an official visit to on April 12th.

Where will he go?

Hopefully, Carr will make the short trip to Michigan as is predicted by 247sports.

And as you can see from his tweet on March 19th, the recruitment is still open; however, it is important to note that the picture of him wearing the Michigan uniform is the one he choose to be up front.

Although, its also important to note family ties.

McMichael remarked, “He’s excited about getting a Michigan offer even though Mom’s a Buckeye.”
