WACO, Texas -- Baylor redshirt sophomore Cameron Carr has been named one of 10 to the midseason watch list for the Jerry West Shooting Guard of the Year, it was announced by the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame on Tuesday afternoon.
Carr is one of 10 players named to the Jerry West Award Midseason Watch List and is one of five Big 12 Conference players on the listing. The award will be narrowed to five players in March, and the winner will be selected from the five finalists and announced following the season.
Carr joins Big 12 brethren including Brayden Burres (Arizona), Richie Saunders (BYU), Emanuel Sharp (Houston) and Darryn Peterson (Kansas) on the top-10 list.

A 6-foot-5 native of Eden Prairie, Minn., Carr has had a decorated 2025-26 season in his debut season with the Bears. He has started all 21 games, totaling averages of 19.4 points, 5.7 rebounds and 32.4 minutes per game. Carr has additionally put up 29 blocks and 19 steals.
