DeMarcus Townsend brings proven backfield experience and a compact, versatile skill set to Duquesne
Townsend is an experienced running back with a documented history at FIU and Duquesne, including an early-career season in which he contributed as a runner and receiver; Duquesne’s roster lists him as a running back after he made an appearance in his first season with the Dukes, and FIU credited him with 271 rushing yards and 117 receiving yards in 2019. He looks like a depth-and-fit addition rather than a headline star: useful if you want a back who can handle multiple roles, but his public statistical footprint is limited, so the main value is experience, versatility, and positional reliability rather than gaudy production.[5][7]
