Ohio State made a big effort to land a commitment from 5-star safety Caleb Downs before the 2023 star ended up pledging to Alabama instead. But with Early Signing Day still more than two months away, there are rumors swirling that the Buckeyes might be able to flip his commitment before all is said and done. Is there any truth to that?

Alex Gleitman of BuckeyeHuddle.com has been following this story closely and joins host Tom Orr to separate fact from fiction.

Plus, an update on another 5-star defender for 2023, defensive lineman Damon Wilson. Did a recent visit to Georgia convince him to be a Bulldog, or are the Buckeyes still in the lead for his commitment?
