Overview
- Indianapolis announced the March 17 signing of undrafted free agent Carson Towt, a former Notre Dame and Northern Arizona basketball standout, to convert him to tight end.
- Towt has never played organized football and, under NFL rules, was not draft-eligible, allowing the Colts to sign him directly after meeting teams during combine week.
- Listed around 6-foot-7 to 6-foot-8 and 250 pounds, Towt averaged 5.9 points and 9.0 rebounds for Notre Dame after leading Division I in rebounding at Northern Arizona in 2024–25.
- He enters a tight end room led by 2025 Pro Bowler Tyler Warren and recently re-signed Mo Alie-Cox, whose own basketball-to-NFL transition provides a model the Colts have used before.
- Team and media accounts describe Towt as a long-term project who will compete through the offseason, with Towt citing his physicality and “dirty work” mindset as traits he believes will translate.
