Whites will eventually yellow due to age. Heat will make that happen faster so if they're in a hot closet it'll be worse. Believe it or not, chlorine bleach can actually yellow fabrics. If you can, hang them to dry in the sun, which is an excellent whitener. Or use oxygen bleach, not chlorine, or add bluing to the rinse. Finally, your water could have high iron content, but if that were the case, all your whites would be getting discolored, not just the towels. If this is so, see https://www.google.com/url?sa=.....0load).&ved=2ahUKEwi65_vl-vKAAxW9FlkFHfSaA2QQFnoECBUQBQ&usg=AOvVaw3jdoE7t7levl3VWz-5kLZL

Are the towels 100% cotton?
Try Vanish for whites garments (I soak for hours) and then wash with a detergent which contains optical brighteners. As hot as possible, min.60 degrees C. Dry hang in the sun

Rule number one: never ever wash colored items with white. Not even once.
