Report: Oakland transfer Trey Townsend no longer planning to visit Michigan State

Oakland transfer forward Trey Townsend is no longer planning to visit Michigan State, Tony Paul of The Detroit News reported. Townsend reportedly visited with Michigan, Arizona and Ohio State thus far and has no more visits planned.

He also had a visit planned with Louisville that did not end up happening.

Townsend was a two-time All-Horizon League selection and won the conference’s Player of the Year award in 2023-24 after leading a first-place finish in the league plus a victory in the conference tournament championship to reach 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.

Townsend was not ranked coming out of Oxford (MI) High School in the 2020 cycle according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He ranks as the No. 85 overall player according to On3’s Transfer Portal Player Rankings.
