James Laurinaitis Says Sonny Styles Has Made a “Smooth Transition” to LB, Caleb Downs Calls Ohio State “The Place to Be” and Quinshon Judkins Is Excited to Work With Carlos Locklyn

Ohio State is where it’s at.

That's what Caleb Downs said on Wednesday.

“This is the place to be,” he said. “I'm glad to be here.”

Downs’ statement came after the Buckeyes’ 10th spring practice. The Alabama safety transfer held a press conference on the Woody Hayes Athletic Center indoor practice field, where Ohio State linebackers coach James Laurinaitis, safeties coach Matt Guerrieri, running backs Quinshon Judkins, Dallan Hayden and TC Caffey, offensive lineman Josh Simmons and defensive end Mitchell Melton also answered questions from reporters.

Among the many topics discussed, Laurinaitis said Sonny Styles has made a “smooth transition” from safety to linebacker this spring, Guerrieri called Ohio State's defensive backfield “highly competitive” and Judkins shared how “awesome” it is that Carlos Locklyn is the Buckeyes’ new running backs coach.
