Explosive young UAB target with two-way playmaking background
Skylar Townsend is a **6-2, 175-pound freshman wide receiver** at UAB who brings a clear playmaking profile and a versatile high-school résumé from Tanner, Alabama.[4][1] His background suggests he can threaten defenses in multiple ways, and that kind of athletic versatility often translates well to special teams and gadget usage early in a college career.[3][4] Because he is still early in his development, the key question is consistency and how quickly he turns raw explosiveness into reliable receiver production, but his size-speed upside makes him a worthwhile fit for a program looking for long-term upside.[1][4]
