Cohen Carr threw down a thunderous dunk in the victory for the Spartans

Cohen Carr wowed the home crowd with a ferocious dunk during Michigan State’s 17th Spartans vs. Detroit Mercy Titans matchup on Friday night.

Coming into the game, the Spartans are off to a great start to the 2025-26 season. They were 4-0, beating Colgate, Arkansas, San Jose State, Kentucky. Two of those games were against ranked opponents, standing out as one of the best teams in the country.

Carr played a solid role in the team’s success early in the campaign. His ability to stretch the floor and rebound the ball was valuable when it came to his two-way talents.

The athleticism he displays on the field is another example of his effectiveness on the field. That was the case in the middle of the second half when he received a lob pass from Jeremy Fears Jr. to throw down a fierce dunk.
