On300 4-star TE Nick Townsend commits to Texas Longhorns
Spring (Texas) Dekaney four-star tight end Nick Townsend has committed to Texas, he announced on Monday.
He chose the Longhorns over LSU, Alabama, and Texas A&M.
Townsend visited both the in-state programs last month, as well as trips to Alabama and USC. However, Steve Sarkisian and Co. have ultimately won out for one of their top local targets.
The 6-foot-3, 225-pound Townsend is the No. 142 overall prospect in the 2025 class, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He also ranks as the nation’s No. 7 tight end and the No. 26 recruit in the Lone Star State.
