When it was revealed running back Stephen Carr would miss all of Spring Camp because of back surgery, concern was rightfully high. Back injuries can be notoriously difficult to recover from.
On Tuesday, USC Football head coach Clay Helton assuaged some fears when it comes to Carr’s progress, declaring the sophomore is “ahead of schedule.”
“Right now he’s on pace to be full speed for training camp,” Helton said.
Helton laid out the plan to get Carr back on the field, explaining that the start of June will mark three months from his surgery. That’s the target for getting Carr back into strength and conditioning plus ramping up to work on change of direction.
