Colts preview UDFA Nolan Rucci ahead of training camp
Summary

The Indianapolis Colts are preparing for training camp, set to begin this summer, by evaluating their 90-man roster. Among the roster hopefuls is undrafted free agent offensive tackle Nolan Rucci, who was signed after the 2026 NFL draft. Rucci stands 6-8 and weighs 314 pounds, bringing experience from his time at Penn State, where he excelled in pass protection. Competing against Luke Tenuta, Blake Freeland, and Bayron Matos for backup spots, Rucci's performance will be critical in determining his future with the team. Should he not secure a roster position, he may still have a chance to join the practice squad.
