Downs led Alabama in tackles this season with 70 solo tackles and 107 total tackles. He also pulled in a pair of interceptions this year. Along with his defensive duties, Downs served as the Crimson Tide's punt returner late this season.

Downs' departure marks another addition to a mass exodus of transfers leaving Alabama following Nick Saban's retirement. As of Friday, 10 players have transferred from Alabama with five of the players being defensive backs and safeties.
