Prized safety Caleb Downs committed to Alabama on Wednesday.
The 6-foot, 190-pound Downs, from Mill Creek High School in Hoschton, Georgia, is No. 16 in the 2023 ESPN 300 and becomes the 11th ESPN 300 prospect for the Crimson Tide.
He chose Alabama over Ohio State, Georgia, Notre Dame and North Carolina.
Downs, ESPN's top ranked safety in the 2023 cycle, is the second-highest ranked recruit for Nick Saban and Alabama, following quarterback Eli Holstein (No. 13).
Downs' decision comes on the heels of Jahlil Hurley and Tony Mitchell -- both top three cornerbacks in the class -- committing to the Crimson Tide in February and June, respectively.
