Kartrell Townsend brings size and upside to A&T’s secondary
At 6-foot-2 and 180 pounds, Kartrell Townsend is a long, active defensive back for North Carolina A&T who is listed as a redshirt sophomore and active for the 2026 season. The appeal is the frame: he has the length to contest throws, the versatility to help on the back end, and room to keep adding strength and polish. Publicly available stat lines are sparse, so the real intrigue is developmental upside rather than proven production — a classic “bet on the tools” DB.
