Carey averaged 8.0 points and 5.7 rebounds in 33 games, including one start. He averaged 9.5 points and 6.2 rebounds in SEC play.

The 6-8, 265-pound Carey began his career at James Madison University under coach Mark Byington, whom he followed to Vanderbilt. Carey played in all 36 games off the bench as a freshman, averaging 7.0 points and 4.3 rebounds in 14.9 minutes. He shot 66.9% from the field and 30% from 3-point range.
