With the college basketball season now in the distant past for the Notre Dame men’s team, there was a move made that we heard might happen — and it actually came true. According to Adam Schefter, Notre Dame forward Carson Towt has signed with the Indianapolis Colts.
So wait — how can this happen? How can Towt sign without going through the draft process?
The NFL is different
than the NBA. For the NFL, if a person has NEVER played college football, but is at least three years removed from his high school graduation date, that person can sign with any NFL team willing to do so.
Towt will try to make the Colts’ roster as a tight end.
There is no way of telling how this will actually go for Towt and the Colts, but it does make for a point that Notre Dame is such a tight end school — even their basketball players are good enough at the position to play in the NFL.
