The Indianapolis Colts signed Notre Dame basketball player Carson Towt as a free agent tight end on Tuesday.
Towt, 24, did not play football in high school or college.
A 6-foot-8, 250-pound forward, he averaged 5.9 points and a team-high 9.0 rebounds in 31 games during his lone season with the Fighting Irish in 2025-26.
Towt played four seasons at Northern Arizona before transferring to South Bend, leading all Division I players with 12.4 rebounds per game and 423 total rebounds in 2024-25.
Indianapolis has a mentor in place with veteran tight end Mo Alie-Cox, who followed a similar path after playing college basketball at VCU and joining the Colts as an undrafted free agent in 2017.
Alie-Cox, 32, has 127 career catches for 1,550 yards and 16 touchdowns in 125 games (53 starts) for the Colts.
