Big Revelation: Caleb Downs Rejects 100 Calls in Record Time to Choose Ryan Day’s Ohio State

Caleb Downs is a hot steal in the world of the NCAA, as per recent reports released by the Buckeyes. The 19-year-old quarterback is already popular in the league as several teams have tried to sign him but ultimately, it was Ryan Day, that ended up stealing him away.

The Alabama Crimson Tide has been having it rough lately. Ever since the legendary Nick Saban left the team, the squad seems to be falling apart. With several players announcing their decision to enter the transfer portal after Saban’s exit, Downs is the latest player to join the mass movement. Additionally, this decision will do wonders for Downs as he’s desperately sought after by teams for his sheer talent and skills.

Caleb Downs was called over 100 times ever since stepping foot in the transfer portal

In a recent post by the official page of the Ohio State Buckeyes, they revealed a mind-boggling state for Caleb Downs, the former quarterback for the Alabama Crimson Tide. He later announced his decision to enter the transfer portal and had the fans speculating about his future. Now that the youngster had signed on with the Ohio State Buckeyes, the team shared the frenzy that was witnessed over Downs.

The caption under the post read, “100 calls and he still chose Ohio State 🌰 #GoBucks” Additionally, the post said that Downs received over 100 calls in a timespan of 7-8 hours after entering the transfer portal. Turns out that Ryan Day’s Buckeyes were the gem in the pile of coal as Downs prepares to don the red and white jersey. Moreover, the Alabama team continues to suffer as we take a look at the list of players who left after Saban’s retirement.

Saban’s exit from Alabama caused several players to call it quits on the team including Downs

The legacy of Nick Saban will not be met with generations of coaches yet to come. From his signing in 2007 to his retirement in 2023, Saban’s Alabama demolished the league for almost a straight decade. The 72-year-old coach won national titles for the team in the years of 2009, 2011, 2012, 2015, 2017, 2020. Now with his retirement, the players have lost one of their best incentives to stay within the team.

Since his retirement, over 10 players have entered the transfer portal including the likes of Caleb Downs, Isaiah Bond, and Kadyn Proctor. Moreover, even after Kalen DeBoer took over the reins, he couldn’t stop players like Shawn Murphy, Desmond Ricks, and Antonio Kite from staying back in Alabama. Thus, Nick Saban’s name and reputation seemed like the only glue sticking the players together and now, DeBoer will be compelled to fix this mess and hopefully bring a stronger squad back for the upcoming season.
