LEXINGTON, Ky. – Redshirt sophomore middle blocker Lizzie Carr announced Wednesday afternoon that she will be transferring to Kentucky and will join the Wildcats for the spring semester of 2025. Carr will have two years of eligibility remaining.

Carr comes to Kentucky from Purdue University, where she helped lead the Boilermakers to a 27-7 season in 2024, including a 16-4 record in the Big Ten and an appearance in the NCAA Louisville Regional semifinals. She averaged 1.52 kills per set, hitting .301 with 73 terminations credited to her name.

The six-foot-six native of West Chester, Pennsylvania was named Academic All-Big Ten after her redshirt freshman season in 2023, where she appeared in 18 matches, playing in over 30 sets for Purdue. Carr played her club volleyball for East Coast Power Volleyball, where she helped guide them to a fifth-place finish at AAU Nationals before heading to West Lafayette to start her collegiate career.
