Colts sign Notre Dame basketball player Carson Towt as TE
- On March 17, 2026 the Indianapolis Colts announced on their X account the signing of Carson Towt as an undrafted free agent, with ESPN’s Adam Schefter reporting they intend to develop him as a tight end.
- Because he never played college football, Towt was eligible to sign after four NFL seasons passed since his 2019 enrollment, finishing his college basketball career 10 days ago in a 77–69 ACC tournament loss to Boston College.
- Scouts noted Towt's physical profile at the 2026 NFL Draft Combine, with his 6'7, 225 lb. frame and basketball skills like 9 RPG this season.
- The Colts see little roster or financial risk in signing Towt, and if developed, he could become an offensive weapon alongside Warren and Alie-Cox for Daniel Jones.
- The Colts followed a trend of converting college hoopers, and Indianapolis’s decision reflects a longer-term project that will test coaching's ability to develop basketball players into tight ends.
