Colts to Host Athletic, Versatile Tight End

Lohner is a multi-sport athlete, playing both football and basketball at Utah. During his basketball career, he played in 153 games (46 starts) and tallied 4.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, 0.7 assists, 0.4 steals, and 0.1 blocks per game in five years of seeing the hardwood.

However, he transitioned to football in 2024 and looked athletic on the gridiron. While his stats aren't eye-popping, he is massive, around 6'8", and weighs about 230 pounds. Indianapolis loves their athletic prospects and don't shy away from basketball prowess.

Current in-house free agent Mo Alie-Cox used to play basketball at Virginia Commonwealth and transitioned to the NFL. In his Colts career, he's produced 114 catches for 1,433 receiving yards and 15 touchdowns in seven NFL seasons.

While Alie-Cox is more of the blocking variety, he's also a red zone threat that can make life easy on either Anthony Richardson or Daniel Jones. This is a role that Lohner might play for Indianapolis if they follow through with their interest and roster him.

We'll see what happens with Lohner, as he has very limited tight end experience, and the Colts need something more reliable. However, he might be able to slot in as another tight end on the depth chart since the Colts only have Drew Ogletree and Will Mallory officially on the roster.
