The Indianapolis Colts have officially signed Notre Dame basketball forward Carson Towt, according to a report from @AdamSchefter. The team plans to convert the collegiate basketball player into a tight end as he begins his professional football career.
Towt joins the Colts after a basketball career where he was known for his physical presence on the court. Standing at 6-foot-7, the former Fighting Irish forward fits the physical profile that many NFL teams look for when scouting basketball players for potential roles on the gridiron. This transition follows a well-established path taken by several successful NFL tight ends who also made the jump from the hardwood to the football field.
The signing adds an intriguing developmental prospect to the Indianapolis roster as they prepare for the upcoming season. Further details regarding the terms of the contract have not yet been disclosed by the organization.
