Ohio State’s Rising Star Sparks Buzz as 2026 NFL Draft’s Unseen Game-Changer—Is He the Next Big Thing?
While Downs is already the consensus top safety in college football, the Ohio State star is also the No. 1 2026 NFL Draft prospect, according to ESPN’s Matt Miller and Field Yates. The analysts agree that he may not be taken first overall in the draft, but should be considered the best preseason prospect.
“Ohio State’s Caleb Downs will begin the 2025 season as my top overall prospect, even though safety isn’t a premium position in terms of value,” Miller wrote. “No one can top Downs — he is the best player in college football and the most exciting prospect.”
