Florida adds Johnny Townsend's brother, a H.S. All-American punter, to roster

His older brother, Johnny Townsend, is a favorite to win the Ray Guy Award this season.

Florida arguably just got another victory over Tennessee. Okay I'm kidding but Florida did get a Tennessee transfer, and it's a name you most definitely recognize. On Thursday, Florida football officially added Tommy Townsend — a former high school All-American punter who was with Tennessee's program until June when he transferred — to the roster as a walk-on. That's right — Tommy is the younger brother of Florida punter Johnny Townsend, was  a Ray Gay finalist last season.

Townsend redshirted at Tennessee last year. He was a U.S. Army All-American out of high school and was rated as the No. 7 punter in the country in the 2015 recruiting class out of Boone High School in Orlando, Fla., where Johnny went to high school as well.
