Downs is a true freshman for the Crimson Tide. The former five-star is currently Alabama’s leading tackler.
Saban dove into what makes Downs special when it was brought to his attention Arnold compared Downs to him.
“I like Caleb Downs,” Saban said. “I think he’s got a lot of good characteristics as a person. He’s got a great competitive attitude about how he goes about things, how he prepares. He’s very serious. He pays attention to detail, really has a lot of pride in performance. I don’t know if anybody could say that about me, so I’m not comparing myself to him at all. But I like the intangibles that he plays with and that he has as a person.”
Downs was recently named to the FWAA Freshman All-America Watch List.
