One of the final additions to the 2015 Colorado football recruiting class might be the first to earn playing time when the season kicks off in 12 days.
Freshman running back Patrick Carr is competing in a crowded backfield that includes veterans Christian Powell, Michael Adkins II and Phillip Lindsay. Carr is also vying for a role as a kickoff return man and it's possible he could be the first Buff to touch the ball in 2015 if he continues to perform well and CU receives the opening kickoff of the season.
Carr, a 5-foot-8, 195-pound product of the Houston area, was originally planning to play his college football at Arkansas, but when things didn't work out there, he chose to be Buff instead.
