A lot of evaluators think 6'6 is too tall for a tackle to get leverage so even though he might have the frame to carry tackle weight his height might be more of a fit at DE. To be a DT at that size has been done by a small number of guys who were extra, extra special. Many of the experts said John Henderson was too tall and he turned out OK. I am not saying that Jason in another John Henderson just comparing body types.
Talked to a couple people close to Carr situation tonight and the word is he has cancelled his official visit to Ole Miss and could be close to shutting it down and giving a firm commitment to Tennessee. Alabama still involved at this point but its possible that after tonight they won't be. Butch Jones is having his in-home tonight.
The reason for radio silence since visit was he was torn between UT and UA and wanted some space to figure things out. Carr had great visit to Alabama and like the thought of playing for UA but has people close to him who want him in Knoxville. His brother being one of them. So understandable.
Just an FYI and we will keep you posted on more becomes available.

"I'm ready for signing day," the 6-6, 280 pound Carr said. "I'm done with visits. I was going to visit Ole Miss, but I'm not going to visit anywhere this weekend. I'm ready for it to be over with."
"Coach Jones was by the school this morning and we visited," Carr said. "He and coach Stripling are coming to the house tonight. I'm still committed to Tennessee. Alabama is still recruiting me hard.
"I don't want to pass on the opportunity to play at Tennessee. Alabama is obviously a very good program with good coaches and both schools have equal facilities. Like I said I'm just ready for it be over with. "

@RyanCallahan247: Just posted a big update on #Vols DL commitment Jason Carr on the @govols247 message board: Tennessee Volunteers Message Board Forum - GoVols247 Message Boards
Carr said the visit with Jones and Stripling went well and, despite enjoying a good visit to Alabama over the weekend, he has decided to cancel his visit to Ole Miss this weekend, shut down his recruitment and stick with Tennessee. Carr said he informed Jones and Stripling of his decision tonight during the visit, and they were both excited by the news. Carr said he's planning to make it back to Knoxville this weekend on an unofficial visit just to hang out and help convince five-star safety Vonn Bell, who's one of the Vols' scheduled visitors, to join him at Tennessee.
