Expert Analysis

Ryan Lippert

Prep Redzone Lead Scout

Another safety that stood out this season is Amare Townsend Amare Townsend 6'0" | 160 lbs | DB DuPont Manual | 2023 State KY from DuPont Manual. He played a big role on their defense this year, finishing his final regular season with 48 tackles and one tackle for loss. He does a great job of reading the play and coming downhill to support against the run. Once he gets to the ball carrier, he explodes through contact to secure the tackle. Against the pass, he covers a lot of ground quickly to give himself a chance to make a play on the ball. He showed solid ball skills this season, coming away with an interception and breaking up several passes. Amare is committed to Southeast Missouri State where I can see him developing into a key piece of their secondary.

Amare Townsend Amare Townsend 6'0" | 160 lbs | DB DuPont Manual | 2023 State KY has stood out to me throughout this off-season as a prototypical free safety. He has tremendous ball skills with the ability to react and come downhill to break up passes, and the athleticism to go up and come up with interceptions in jump ball situations. Townsend has also shown that he can come down and guard slot receivers in man coverage, using his speed and athleticism to open up and run with them in the deep passing game. Against the run, Townsend shows the ability to read the play and come downhill in a hurry to provide support. Once he gets to the ball, he does a great job of running his feet on contact to secure the tackle. Amare is committed to continue his football and academic career at Southeast Missouri State and should find a key role for them.
