Michigan State<\/a> basketball junior Coen Carr<\/a> continues to jump out of people’s screens before the Spartans’ season even begins.<\/p>\n

MSU basketball recently shared a video of their players’ vertical jumps during a preseason practice, and the most impressive jump unsurprisingly came from Carr<\/a>, who has made a habit of posting highlight-reel in-game dunks<\/a> for MSU.<\/p>\n

In the video the Spartans posted, the vertical jump tester is placed right next to a hoop and you can see just how insane Carr’s hops are as his elbow is well above the 10-foot rim.<\/p>\n

WOAH: How Michigan State basketball’s Coen Carr atoned for his backboard-shattering viral dunk<\/a><\/p>\n

Carr, who is listed at 6 feet 5 but looks like he can nearly reach the top of the backboard, is entering his third year with the program. He played in a team-high 37 regular-season games for the Spartans in the 2024-25 season, putting up 8.1 points and 3.6 rebounds per game as MSU advanced to the Elite Eight.<\/p>\n

Earlier in May, Carr made headlines for shattering the backboard<\/a> and breaking the rim on a dunk in a pickup game, something rarely seen in modern basketball.<\/p>\n

Michigan State coach Tom Izzo has praised Carr, saying ahead of the 2025 NCAA Tournament: “…if he continues to improve, he’s going to be a star, not just a great player.\u201d<\/p>\n
