David Aaron Carr (born March 28, 1999) is an American freestyle and former folkstyle wrestler who competes at 165 pounds.

[7] Carr had an outstanding freshman season competing as a Cyclone, compiling an 18–1 record overall and an unbeaten 9–0 at dual meets.

[13][14] In October 2020, the NCAA granted an extra year of eligibility to winter athletes due to the previous season being cut short.

2021-22 Carr competed at 157 pounds for the Cyclones and compiled a 26-1 record including 13-0 in dual meet competition.

He suffered a 2nd round loss at the 2022 NCAA Championships, but wrestled back to a 3rd place finish earning All-American honors for the 3rd consecutive year.

He finished the year with a 27-1 record including wins over Quincy Monday and former national champion Shane Griffith.

Carr lost to Missouri's O'Toole in the NCAA finals, taking a 2nd place trophy back to Ames.

After the 2023–24 season, Carr was named by the Big 12 as the men's recipient of the Bob Bowlsby Award, described by the conference as its "most prestigious individual accolade."

He won his first two bouts in a row with a notable win over four-time NCAA Division I All-American Dylan Ness before being thrown to the consolation bracket by the accomplished Olympian Frank Molinaro in a very close 8-9 decision.

[23] After a four-match winning streak (including a victory over Dan Hodge Trophy finalist Ryan Deakin), he was defeated three times in a row by the defending US National title holder Logan Massa, three-time All-American and U23 World Team Member Hayden Hidlay and Deakin, respectively, placing sixth.
