Caleb Downs chose to transfer from Alabama to Ohio State after Nick Saban announced his retirement from coaching college football. According to Downs’ father, Saban’s decision had a significant impact on Caleb’s move.
In an interview with Derrick Tatum on the Tatum Talk Podcast, Downs explained that Caleb had a deep admiration for Saban. “He absolutely adored Nick, and Caleb loves excellent coaching,” he said. “Nick was the best DB coach. Caleb would sit with Nick every day, absorbing all the nuances of his coaching style, including the tone and inflections in his voice.
That’s where he wanted to be.” Downs and Ohio State are preparing for a National Championship game against Notre Dame.
