And now predictions are going to Florida 
I'm gonna assume that their offer is insanely high given how desperate they are for a EDGE commit

DT Cameron Heyward (7x Pro Bowl, 4x All Pro, Pittsburgh Steelers)

DEVELOPED HERE. Downs is one of the top prospects in the 2026 NFL Draft class, just like Nick Bosa in the 2019 class and Cameron Heyward in the 2011 class. While Downs must wait another year to make his professional debut, Bosa and Heyward have been kicking it in the league for a long time — especially Heyward, who will enter his 15th NFL season this fall.
Fowler also ranked the top defensive tackles in the NFL this week. He listed Heyward No. 10 behind Dexter Lawrence (New York Giants), Chris Jones (Kansas City Chiefs), Jalen Carter (Philadelphia Eagles), Jeffery Simmons (Tennessee Titans), Quinnen Williams (New York Jets), Leonard Williams (Seattle Seahawks), Nnamdi Madubuike (Baltimore Ravens), DeForest Buckner (Indianapolis Colts) and Vita Vea (Tampa Bay Bucaneers).

This week, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler ranked Bosa as the No. 5 edge rusher in the NFL behind Myles Garrett (Cleveland Browns), T.J. Watt (Pittsburgh Steelers), Micah Parsons (Dallas Cowboys) and Maxx Crosby (Las Vegas Raiders). He ranked Bosa ahead of Trey Hendrickson (Cincinnati Bengals), Aidan Hutchinson (Detroit Lions), Will Anderson Jr. (Houston Texans), Danielle Hunter (Houston Texans) and Jared Verse (Los Angeles Rams).

“IT WAS A BLESSING.” Cleveland.com’s Stefan Krajisnik took readers inside Caleb Downs’ offseason as an EA Sports College Football 26 (deluxe edition) cover star and “his drive for more with Ohio State football.”
There was much to appreciate in the article, which details Downs’ passion for golf, his claim that Sonny Styles is the team’s biggest trash talker and more. The main appeal, however, was Downs’ appearance with Ryan Day and Jeremiah Smith on the College Football 26 cover.
“At the end of the day, in 15-20 years, I can tell my son, tell my daughter, that’s your dad on the cover of a video game,” Downs told Krajisnik. “That’s something a lot of people can’t say.”
Regarding his experience traveling with Day and Smith to Pasadena for the cover shoot inside Rose Bowl Stadium, Downs said it was something of a dream come true.
“It was a blessing just because we had been through a whole season together,” Downs said. “Our relationships have all grown. To all be in that situation, it’s surreal.”
I can imagine. What an honor!
“A TRUE BLUE-CHIP TALENT.” Downs’ name appeared in more than one article on Thursday, as The Athletic’s Dane Brugler ranked the unanimous All-American the No. 1 defensive underclassman prospect in the 2026 NFL Draft class.
Here’s what Brugler wrote about Downs:
