Blair Townsend’s North Dakota résumé is built on one breakout, and it still pops
In the 2012 season, Blair Townsend flashed real big-play value for North Dakota, posting 27 catches for 289 yards and 2 touchdowns after a 13-catch, 152-yard breakout against Montana that earned national honorable-mention recognition. At 6-foot-3, he brought a long catch radius and reliable hands, with enough versatility that North Dakota even listed him as a quarterback earlier in his career. The main draw is clear: size, toughness, and the ability to deliver when the game gets loud — the kind of target coaches love in the red zone.
