A men's soccer student-athlete from 2003 to 2006, Todd helped lead Hofstra to three consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances during his tenure. He was a United Soccer Coaches Second Team All-American as a senior and also earned CAA Player of the Year after tallying 13 goals and five assists for 31 points. He ranked 15th in the nation in points per game (1.72) and 14th in goals per game (0.72) in 2006. In 2010, Todd saw his #9 jersey retired. Todd was a four-time All-CAA selection, a three-time all-region pick, and a two-time CAA Championship Most Outstanding Player Award recipient. He helped Hofstra to its first-ever NCAA Tournament win in 2004 with a goal in a 2-1 victory over Seton Hall. Named to the CAA Silver Anniversary Team, Todd ranks second in career points (101), third in goals (40), and fifth in assists (21) at Hofstra.

He also excelled in the classroom as a two-time College Sports Communicators Academic All-American, a National Soccer Coaches Association Academic All-Region selection, and the 2004 CAA Scholar-Athlete of the Year. Todd was selected with the third pick in the second round of the 2007 MLS Supplemental Draft by the Kansas City Wizards (now Sporting Kansas City), but did not sign a contract with the club. He would eventually sign for the Charleston Battery of the USL A-League and played in 15 games for the club. He then joined the Baltimore Blast of the Major Indoor Soccer League for the 2007-08 season, where he scored six goals and eight assists and helped the Blast to a MISL championship.

Todd moved back to Long Island to play for the Long Island Rough Riders, where he played for three seasons before moving into the youth coaching circuit. After working as the Coaching Director for Locust Valley Soccer Club, Todd and several other area coaches formed Gold Coast FC in 2012. Today, Gold Coast FC operates numerous youth teams along the North Shore of Long Island.
