Ohio State '23 GA SAF (SO) - Caleb Downs (Alabama Transfer)

CALEB DOWNS
The five-star Alabama safety commit resurfaces on the list because he visited Columbus for the Buckeyes’ game against Michigan last week. Though he’s ranked this low because flipping him is going to be an extremely tall task for OSU, especially after he saw the Buckeyes give up 45 points in person. But the Buckeyes won’t go down without a fight and will continue recruiting him until he signs his National Letter of Intent in 19 days.

 

Coaches from Alabama and Ohio State are in Georgia to watch Crimson Tide 5⭐️ S commit Caleb Downs. The talented defensive back visited the Buckeyes last weekend.
