BREAKING: Caleb Downs reveals his destination in the transfer portal. Following the retirement of Alabama head coach Nick Saban, changes have been abundant in the college football dynasty. Under the new leadership of head coach Kalen DeBoer, the program is restructuring its staff, and the transfer portal has played a significant role. Caleb Downs, a standout defensive back, has chosen to commit to Ohio State, emerging as a highly sought-after player in the market. Despite initial speculation linking him to Georgia, Texas, and Ohio State, Downs ultimately opted for the latter. The Bulldogs had hired Alabama’s defensive backs coach Travaris Robinson, fueling expectations of him joining Georgia, but that scenario did not materialize.
During his freshman year with the Crimson Tide, Downs achieved notable stats, amassing 107 total tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss, and two interceptions. His outstanding performance earned him the Shaun Alexander Freshman of the Year award and garnered All-American recognition from various sources. This transfer marks a substantial addition to his new school’s roster, and Downs is expected to make an immediate impact, mirroring his impressive debut at Alabama.
