The Tim May Show: Ohio State Safety Caleb Downs - Leader, Captain, "Coach"
As soon as Caleb Downs showed up at Ohio State in the winter of 2024 it was obvious things were special about this young man. Anyone watching the 2024 season could see examples of why. He was a playmaker immediately at safety but more and more asserted himself as a leader within the defense. He proved himself to be a trusted Confidant on and off the field, a teammate that cornerback Davison Igbinosun even refers to as a coach, due to the knowledge and perspective he brings to the game. That's why it was no surprise to see him elected as one of four captains for the Buckeyes for 2025.
