Caleb Downs joined Ohio State to boost its secondary, but the top college football transfer could get snaps on offense in 2024.
Ohio State football coach Ryan Day is looking for every way to involve prized transfer portal addition Caleb Downs in 2024, and that plan could involve featuring the safety on offense, too.
"It was part of the recruiting process, possibly doing a little bit of running back, as well," Day said. It wouldn't be a first for Downs, who played snaps at running back at Mill Creek High School in Hoschton, Ga. He ran for 389 yards and 20 touchdowns on 57 carries as a junior, and posted 648 career yards with 27 touchdowns in his varsity high school career, according to MaxPreps.
Ohio State comes into the 2024 college football season with arguably the most talented and promising rotation of running backs in the country.
