The Indianapolis Colts agreed to terms with undrafted free agent cornerback Louchiez Purifoy on Monday.

Purifoy played in 37 games (19 starts) for the University of Florida, recording 102 tackles (69 solo), 12 pass breakups, five forced fumbles, 4.5 tackles for loss, two interceptions, two sacks and one fumble recovery.

As a junior last year, Purifoy was named Second Team All-Southeastern Conference by Athlon Sports after totaling 24 tackles (14 solo), seven pass breakups, two interceptions, 2.0 sacks, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery in 11 games (seven starts).

The Colts also announced they waived four players — linebacker Alan Baxter, fullback Stephen Campbell, tight end Martell Webb and kicker Carson Wiggs.

Baxter was originally signed to the Colts’ practice squad on Dec. 24, 2013 and was signed to a reserve/future contract on Jan. 13. He played in 52 career games at Northern Illinois.

Webb then spent time with the New York Jets, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Arizona Cardinals, Tennessee Titans and the Detroit Lions.

Wiggs was signed by the Colts as a free agent on March 18. He finished his collegiate career (2008-2011) as the most accurate kicker in Purdue history, connecting on 53-of-72 career field goals. He was originally signed by the Seattle Seahawks as an undrafted free agent on April 28, 2012 but was waived prior to the start of the regular season.
