She averaged 1.52 kills per set, hitting .301 with 73 terminations credited to her name. Carr also averaged 0.63 blocks per set with five solo stuffs and 65 block assists in 2024 for the Boilermakers.

“Lizzie is an extremely motivated person who matches the personality of our program and will be a great fit for Kentucky Volleyball.” head coach Craig Skinner said. “She is an exciting addition to our program who has the ability to impact the game at the net like few people can.”

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.
