As we continue through the offseason, Roll Tide Wire has decided to bring fans a quick snapshot of each scholarship player listed on Alabama’s 2020 football roster.
Each day, we’ll release anywhere from 2-4 player profiles giving fans a glimpse into the players who will be available this upcoming season. Whether that’s size, classification, hometowns or recruiting rankings coming out of high school, we’ve got you covered.
Also included in each article is a quick recap letting you know what to expect from that player for the upcoming 2020 season and beyond.
Next up on the list is redshirt junior wide receiver Chadarius Townsend out of Tanner (Ala.).
Chadarius Townsend, Wide Receiver
Height: 6-0 / Weight: 194
Class: Redshirt junior
Hometown: Tanner (Ala.)

HS ranking (247Sports): 4-star / No. 175 overall / No. 5 ATH / No. 7 AL

Analysis: Chadarius Townsend has done everything in his power to help his team out. Whether it was playing wide receiver, running back, special teams or even some cornerback, the north Alabama native has answered the call.
Unfortunately, that hasn’t let to a lot of on-the-field success thus far, but that doesn’t mean Townsend’s time isn’t coming — it just might need to start with getting more action on special teams.
As far as his position, he’s still listed as a wide receiver on roster, but like with running back, the receiver position is once again loaded with talent.
Could a move to the defensive side of the football help? Probably, as the Tide is seeking more depth in the secondary after the losses of Trevon Diggs, Xavier McKinney, Shyheim Carter and Jared Mayden, as well as the unexpected losses of Nigel Knott (medical/transfer) and Scooby Carter (transfer).
Keep an eye on Townsend during the offseason to see where he ends up.
