In 2024, Townsend appeared in ten games for Independence, rushing for 348 yards and three touchdowns. The 6'0" 190-pound prospect originally hails from Midlothian, Illinois, where he prepped at Bremen high school.

247Sports rated Townsend as a three-star prospect and the #2 JUCO running back in the class of 2025.

Townsend chose the Chanticleers over offers from Houston, Liberty, Toledo, UCF, USF, Utah, and UTSA, Tulsa, and Missouri State, among others.

Townsend can sign with the Chanticleers on Wednesday, February 5, along with any other unsigned commitments for the 2025 class.
