Tommy attended high school at William R. Boone High School in Orlando, Florida. He played his freshman year at the University of Tennessee before returning to Florida to play at the University of Florida.

The Townsend brothers, were teammates last season when the Chiefs signed Johnny to their practice squad for insurance in case then-rookie Tommy was sidelined.
