The Indianapolis Colts announced Tuesday that the team has signed safety Dezmen Southward, as well as quarterback Alex Tanney to the the team’s practice squad. Both quarterback Matt Blanchard and offensive guard Kitt O’Brien were waived in corresponding moves.
Of the duo, Southward’s name may be one to watch.
Originally a 2014 3rd round pick of the Falcons, Southward played his collegiate football at the University of Wisconsin, where he was a consensus All-Big 10 honorable mention as both a junior and senior.
