Buckeye Talk emergency pod: What landing Caleb Downs in the transfer portal means to Ohio State football

Ohio State just landed the best available player in the transfer portal and added him to a defense that was already trending toward being historical. The fight for Caleb once he left Alabama following Nick Saban's retirement came down to the Buckeyes and Georgia and heading into the end of the week it felt like the Bulldogs were in the lead. But then a few OSU coaches took a trip down to his home in Georgia to see the former five-star safety and did just enough to keep that from happening. Now a player it once finished second for on the recruiting trail, is finally calling Columbus his home. On this emergency episode of Buckeye Talk, Stephen Means, Nathan Baird and Andrew Gillis discuss the impact of Caleb Downs' decision. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
