Caleb Downs, the Ohio State transfer, reports that he received over 100 phone calls following his entry into the transfer portal.
Ohio State safety Caleb Downs revealed that he received over 100 calls within a seven- to eight-hour timeframe after he entered the transfer portal following Nick Saban’s retirement at Alabama. In a recent 15-minute press session, Downs spoke with reporters for the first time since committing to Ohio State. The five-star recruit from the Class of 2023, who earned Freshman All-American honors last year with 107 tackles and two interceptions, had been a highly sought-after player. Before ultimately choosing Ohio State on January 19, Downs had narrowed down his decision to his home state of Georgia and Ohio State.
