A common recruiting knock against the Tide from opposing teams is that five-star players are all over the depth chart, so playing time is limited for underclassmen.
NICK ALVAREZ al.com It took about three practices for Caleb Downs to make a “crazy play” in the eyes of veteran defensive back Terrion Arnold.
Since arriving on campus last December, Downs hasn’t relented. He excited fans when he worked out with the Crimson Tide at its Sugar Bowl practices. He exceeded expectations when he earned first-team reps during the spring game amid a veteran secondary. And already a trendy pick for the conference’s breakout freshmen, Downs is just one of a few Crimson Tide freshmen and newcomers who seem primed to make an early impact in the 2023 season.
For Downs, left tackle Kadyn Proctor and others, their next step is having a strong showing in the first of two scrimmages this Saturday in Bryant-Denny Stadium. The program doesn’t allow freshmen to speak to the media, but upperclassmen have provided glowing reviews on a couple of them. Chris Braswell complimented pass-rushers Keon Keley and Yhonzae Pierre’s athleticism. Tyler Booker said Proctor possesses all the traits a UA blocker needs. Malachi Moore called Downs’ focus “eye-opening.”
