Tommy Townsend Looking to Transfer.

[VolinDalton]

What's the depth looking like now? That's a big loss for us. He was ranked the 7th best punter in his class.

Luckily we have an elite punter in Trevor, but who's next in line now?

Former U.S. Army All-American leaving Vols

Well if you cant beat a walk-on punter....

 

[I Like Turtles]

That is not a big loss for us lol

Lol yeah I think some people need to rethink the concept of a "big loss"

Im just saying, injuries happen. It would be nice to have talent behind our starter. Trevor has a very, very good leg. He's one of the best in the nation, walk-on or not. Can't blame Townsend for that. It'd be hard for anyone to beat T. Daniel out.

A talented punter helped win the game for us against UGA. Overlooked, but that is a huge spot on the roster for field position.

And that punter will still be the starter

So we have two choices either play him and bench Trevor or have him transfer. A guy like Townsend is not going to sit on the bench for 3 years. When Townsend was recruited nobody knew that Daniel was going to blossom like he did.

Thought I read last week that he's already picked the school he's transferring to....Central Florida.

No need IMO. Just thought I read that in another thread that was perhaps not dedicated to this subject.

UCF isn't lower division.

 

[chaseasl]

He would still have to sit out a year if he transferred to Central Florida.

Not all all. It was buried on another thread before. Definitely needs its own thread. :hi:

wow - bad decision on his part imo

If Daniel stays another year it wouldn't be.

He would still have 2 years as the possible starter -- and whats Central Florida ever going to win ?

Isn't that the same amount he will have at Central Florida? If he sits out a year does he still have 3 years or just 2?

For a punter? You're looking for playing time and stats...so you can do it for money at the next level.

He'll be a redshirt sophomore.
