One of the rare safeties to be a college football star, Ohio State’s Caleb Downs enters his true junior season as one of the top draft prospects in the country. A consensus five-star prospect out of high school and the younger brother of Colts WR Josh Downs, he initially committed to Alabama where he started and led the Crimson Tide in tackles as a true freshman. That year, he had 107 tackles, two interceptions, three passes defensed and a forced fumble as one of the leaders of the defense.
The following offseason, Downs made waves by entering the transfer portal upon legendary Alabama HC Nick Saban’s retirement, committing to Ohio State. He continued his run of dominance as a sophomore, racking up 81 tackles, two interceptions, six passes defensed and a sack on his way to unanimous All-A
