Hoschton (Ga.) Mill Creek five-star safety and Alabama commit Caleb Downs is in Athens, Ga., today for Georgia‘s top-three matchup against Tennessee.

He is the No. 1 player from the state of Georgia.

Downs is the No. 11 overall recruit in the 2023 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

He currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $333k. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
