The Indianapolis Colts just signed former Notre Dame basketball forward, cars in TOUT to play tight end in the NFL. At 6 foot 8 and 250 pounds, TOUT brings serious size and athleticism to the position after wrapping up five college seasons. TOUT spent four years at Northern Arizona before transferring to Notre Dame for the 2025-2026 season. There, he stepped up as a key rebounder, grabbing a team high nine boards per game, while scoring 5.9 points on 61% shooting. This kind of switch from basketball to football has worked out big time before. Think Hall of Famers like Tony Gonzalez from Cal and Antonio Gates from Kent State, or more recently Moa Ali Cox, who went from BCU hoops to a solid. Roll with the Colts. TOUT's power and height make him a natural fit for red zone catches, but he'll need to pick up football fast since he's never played organized ball.

1:02Before, not every basketball guy nails it, like some college experiments that fizzled out. Now the Colts see enough upside to give him a real shot at the final roster. It's a huge opportunity for TOUT to turn his hoop skills into pro football success. This story is made possible by our sponsor.
