Nicolai Townsley '26 Recruiting Profile

Avid football player, wrestler and BJJ player.

I train daily—often twice a day. I eat right, recover and study. These are my priorities as I prepare for a future in college sports and a career in Naval Special Forces (SWCC).

I tackle at a higher rate than taller men--your height won't stop me from getting to you. Lions are the king of the jungle, not giraffes.

My game is built on explosive leg strength, consistent power, and agility.

I run a 4.6 40, but my real speed shows in reading offenses and making disruptive plays—skills sharpened from the two years I played as a starting QB.

For the 2026 season, I start at nickel, sometimes linebacker, and concurrently at running back.
