The Colts on Tuesday signed undrafted free agent tight end Carson Towt.
Towt most recently played as a forward for Notre Dame Basketball in 2025-26. Prior to that, the 6-foot-7, 250-pound athlete played basketball at Northern Arizona from 2019-25. While at Northern Arizona, Towt set the Big Sky Conference single-season record with 423 total rebounds in the 2024-25 season (leading the country) and recorded 20 double-doubles.
Towt did not play football in high school or college.
With the Colts, Towt will join a tight end with a similar background in Mo Alie-Cox. Alie-Cox played basketball at VCU and was signed by the Colts as an undrafted free agent in 2017; the 32-year-old veteran just re-signed with the Colts on Monday and became the second-longest tenured member of the Colts roster.
