Jacob Theieneman, a standout football player for Guerin Catholic and Purdue University, has signed with the Indianapolis Colts.
Thieneman, a safety, had signed with the New York Giants in May as an undrafted free agent, and while he participated in the team’s offseason program, he was placed on the Injured Reserve list shortly after signing, then waived in June. The Colts announced the signing earlier this week in a news release on their website.
Thieneman had a solid career for the Boilermarkes. In his senior season, he started in 10 games and totaled 74 tackles (49 solo and 25 assists), including seven tackles for a loss. Thieneman also had five sacks during the 2018 season.
Theineman is the second recent Hamilton County player to put on a Colts uniform, following Hamilton Southeastern’s Joe Reitz, who played from 2010 to 2016.
