New Notre Dame forward Carson Towt already making his presence felt on the hardwood
New Notre Dame big man Carson Towt has already raised expectations for the 2025-26 men's basketball team. After a tough first two seasons under head coach Micah Shrewsberry, the Fighting Irish went into the transfer portal to bring in the power forward from Northern Arizona of the Big Sky Conference to help replace the loss of Tae Davis to Oklahoma. The 6-foot-8, 235-pound Towt was a rebounding machine with the Lumberjacks and has already impressed on the court this summer in South Bend. He was the nation's leading rebounder last season at 12.4 per game, including 3.5 on the offensive glass. Towt was a late bloomer, as he excelled as a high school guard until a growth walked on at NAU and increased his size while getting comfortable in his new frame, and his numbers went from 5.6 points and 4.6 rebounds per game as a freshman to 13.3 points and the nation-leading 12.4 rebounds in 2024-25 while connecting on 53.1 percent of his field goals. Towt chose Notre Dame over Baylor, Iowa, Xavier and Washington State. He has been compared to former Irish great Luke Harangody. If he can be even half as efficient as Harangody, the Irish made a shrewd move in the portal.
