The Indianapolis Colts waived developmental offensive tackle Demarco Cox on Thursday.

Cox, who did not play football in college, signed with the Colts on March 19.

Cox, who is 6 feet 8 and 294 pounds, played four years of basketball at Mississippi, including a medical redshirt, and finished as a graduate transfer at George Tech last season.

The Colts were trying him at offensive tackle, where he starred in high school before turning down football scholarships to Alabama, LSU and Ohio State.
