A former University of Delaware football standout is making his return to Newark, but this time he’ll be calling plays from the sidelines instead of catching passes on the field.
Jourdan Townsend, who graduated from UD in 2023 after a stellar career as a wide receiver for the Blue Hens, has been named the program’s new senior offensive analyst and assistant wide receivers coach. Head coach Ryan Carty made the announcement on Friday.
The appointment brings the former Blue Hens star back to his collegiate home, where he’ll now help develop the next generation of Delaware receivers. Townsend’s transition from player to coach represents a quick move into the coaching ranks following his graduation just two years ago.
The hiring adds a familiar face to Carty’s coaching staff, as Townsend brings firsthand knowledge of the Delaware football program and its offensive system to his new role.
