Notre Dame men's basketball found its first addition of the offseason.
Former Northern Arizona forward Carson Towt committed to transfer to Notre Dame, his agency announced Sunday. The 6-foot-8, 235-pound Towt led Division I in rebounds per game last season with 12.4. Towt also averaged 13.3 points per game while shooting 56.9% from the field.
Adding an interior presence was arguably the biggest need for head coach Micah Shrewsberry heading into next season. The Irish are returning just two players taller than 6-foot-6 from last year's roster: 6-11 forward Garrett Sundra, who will be a sophomore next season, and 6-10 forward Kebba Njie, a senior-to-be.
The Irish have inexperienced size on the way in the incoming freshman class — 6-10 center Tommy Ahneman and 6-9 forward Brady Koehler — but Towt shouldn't need time to develop when he arrives at Notre Dame. He graduated from Gilbert (Ariz.) High in 2019 when Notre Dame's incoming freshmen were finishing up sixth grade.
