Hall of Fame
Brandon Carr will go down as the top cornerback in GVSU football history. A shutdown corner, Carr tallied 206 tackles, picked off 11 passes, and tallied a program-record 50 pass breakups. Grand Valley State was 50-4 during his career with four GLIAC Championships, two NCAA DII National Championships (2005-2006) and a NCAA DII record 40-game winning streak. Carr was a two-time First-Team All-GLIAC performer, the 2007 GLIAC Defensive Back of the Year and two-time consensus First-Team All-American. Following his legendary play for GVSU, Carr turned in a stellar National Football League career. A fifth-round pick by the Kansas City Chiefs in 2008, Carr started every game he played in (192) during his time in the league. Throughout his 12-year career Carr also played for the Dallas Cowboys and Baltimore Ravens. Brandon was a nominee as the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award three times.Â
