Carr coaches the defensive linemen at Morgan State in addition to his role as associate head coach. He was a standout nose tackle for Michigan during the 1990s where one of his teammates was Tyrone Wheatley.
The seventh-round draft pick from 1999 spent time as a coach at Arizona Western College before joining his alma mater as well as a brief stint with MSU in 2017 before being brought back by Wheatley.
Sanders, who was named FCS Coach of the Year after leading JSU to a SWAC East Division title and SWAC championship, played in the NFL for the Atlanta Falcons, Dallas Cowboys, San Francisco 49ers, Washington Redskins and Baltimore Ravens.
