Oakland transfer Trey Townsend sets visits with multiple big-name schools
Oakland transfer Trey Townsend has set visits with multiple big-name schools throughout the month of April, On3 has learned.
Townsend will be visiting Arizona from April 16-17. He’ll fly immediately to Ohio State after that, staying in Columbus from April 18-19 before heading to Louisville on April 20-21.
Last weekend, Townsend was in Ann Arbor for his visit to Michigan. The Michigan native has also gained interest from Michigan State since he entered the portal as well.
Townsend was a two-time All-Horizon League selection and won the conference’s Player of the Year award in 2024 after leading a first-place finish in the league plus a victory in the conference tournament championship to make it to the NCAA Tournament. He notably helped the Golden Grizzlies take down Kentucky in the first round.
He averaged 17.3 points, 8.1 rebounds and 3.1 assists for Oakland this past season. Across four seasons, Townsend has logged 1,813 points and 889 rebounds. One more season in college gives him the chance to become a 2,000-point scorer while also logging 1,000 career rebounds — a feat not every forward gets to compete for.
During the last three games of his Oakland career, he averaged 28.3 points, which included a 38-point performance in the Horizon League championship game, defeating Milwaukee 83-76 in the process. He followed that up with a 17-point performance against UK, and then gave a 30-point effort against NC State, who would go on to appear in this past season’s Final Four.
Ahead of Oakland’s eventual first-round upset against Kentucky, Townsend spoke to what the Oakland program meant to him during his four-year stay there.
“I mean this whole journey of being a part of Oakland has been just such a dream come true,” Townsend said, via On3’s Alex Weber. “Not one moment is more special to me than another. Just being able to wear this uniform, this Oakland University uniform, and represent this university that I’ve been around my whole life that, like you said, both my parents were a part of and played basketball here, it’s been such a special thing for me.”
Whether Townsend decides to commit to either of these three schools remains to be seen, but what is for sure is that one program will be getting one of the most dominating paint presences left in the transfer portal as of this report.
He will have one season of eligibility remaining.

Warmer temps increase rattlesnake risks: Arizona Game and Fish
PHOENIX – Officials with the Arizona Game and Fish Department said unseasonably warm temperatures in the state will increase risks for rattlesnake encounters.
What they’re saying:
In a statement released on Feb. 27, the agency said while rattlesnakes are most active in desert areas from March through October, they “may appear earlier in the year as warming temperatures bring them out of winter hibernation.”
“During the spring, it’s common for rattlesnakes to be out during daylight hours,” read a portion of the statement. “As the days become increasingly hot, rattlesnakes tend to move around more at night.”
What you can do:
Officials said there are things people can do to keep themselves safe, including:
- Step back and let a rattlesnake move away if you see one on a trail
- Be mindful of where you place your feet and hands, because rattlesnakes can easily blend in with their surroundings
- Carry a flashlight at night, especially on warmer nights when rattlesnakes can be most active
- Clean up yard debris and reduce standing water near homes, in order to avoid attracting rattlesnakes
- Stay on marked trails, as rattlesnakes encounters are more likely to occur when a person leaves a marked trail
Game and Fish officials said people should do the following if someone was bitten by a rattlesnake:
- Remain calm
- Reassure the victim
- Call 911 and seek medical attention without delay
- Remove all jewelry and watches from the affected area
- Immobilize the extremity, and keep it below the heart
- Decrease total body activity, as feasible
