Ohio State football fans troll Georgia after Caleb Downs decision

On Friday, one of the biggest college football stars to hit the transfer portal, former Alabama safety Caleb Downs, made the bombshell decision to commit to the Ohio State football program, spurning Georgia in the process. This is a devastating development for the Georgia football program, as they had already made a few moves to try and convince Downs to choose to play for the Bulldogs, but instead, the 22-year old safety is now a Buckeye

Downs was one of the most sought-after players in the transfer portal in the wake of his decision to leave Alabama following Nick Saban’s retirement. For Ohio State football to secure his services is nothing short of a coup, and now, Buckeyes fans are engaging in a bit of banter on social media with Georgia after winning the Downs sweepstakes.

“BOOOOOOOOOM! Ohio State has landed superstar Alabama safety transfer Caleb Downs! The Buckeyes just snagged a prized prospect away from Georgia and added the best secondary player in the country,” @tSilverBulletin, a news service for Ohio State, wrote on Twitter (X).

“Caleb Downs has committed to…Ohio State! The No. 1 player in the transfer portal goes with the Buckeyes over Georgia. Jim Knowles’ defense has a ton coming back in 2024 and adds a freshman superstar,” Max Olson of The Athletic wrote.

“Landing Caleb Downs only makes me feel better about saying Ohio State not Georgia are the preseason favorites,” Greg Smith of Rivals.com wrote.
