FISHERS- The Fishers Freight announced the signing of defensive lineman Tamar Heart for the 2025 season.
Heart is a Signaw, Michigan native and attended Bridgeport High School. During his 2015-16 season at Bridgeport, Heart played defensive end for the school and accumulated 51 total tackles.
After high school, Heart started and finished his career at the University of Olivet where he would play across the defensive line for the Comets. At Olivet, Heart accumulated 17 sacks and 80 tackles by the end of his career. Heart was also named Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) Defensive Most Valuable Player for the 2020-21 season.
He received this award after recording 18 total tackles, including 13 solo stops, 8.5 tackles for loss, and five quarterback sacks to go along with three fumble recoveries.
Before signing to the Freight, and after he finished his eligibility at Olivet, Heart played for the Omaha Beef where he was named Week 11 Defensive Player of the Week, which contributed to the team's 66-13 victory. Heart finished the season with 51 total tackles.
"Tamar brings indoor football experience to our brand-new franchise," says Freight Head Coach Dixie Wooten. "He's a competitor who will get after every snap and make offenses think twice about running plays in his direction."
