One of the nation’s top-rated recruits has signed with Alabama. 2023 five-star safety Caleb Downs made things official with the Tide as he signed his National Letter of Intent on Wednesday.
Downs is rated as the No. 6 overall recruit in the country, according to 247Sports’ Composite Rankings. He is listed as 6-foot-0, 195 pounds. 247Sports’ Andrew Ivins compares Downs’ game to Texans safety Justin Reid. He also projects Downs to be a first-round pick at the next level.
He will likely be a starter next season in Tuscaloosa with both of the Tide’s starting safeties graduating. Downs will be a key piece to Alabama’s defense for many years to come.
