Hayden Lindquist | Prep Redzone Scout
The Saints’ receiving corps had its work cut out for it on Friday night as Robbinsdale Cooper returned every starting member of their secondary from last season. But once Downs got started, there wasn’t a lot of slowing down from the highly sought-after sophomore. Early in the second half, Downs broke off deep on a 40-yard fade ball, clearing the DB by a significant margin to put the Saints up for the first time all game. His athleticism and route running make him a dangerous threat across the field. This looks to be the start of Downs’ breakout season.

One of the most dynamic athletes in his class, Downs caught 26 balls for just short of 200 yards and a TD as a freshman wideout, but looks to truly break out into his own during his sophomore campaign. His athleticism is insane, especially for a 2028 athlete. He possesses the speed the beat kids over the top, and the vertical ability to contest high passes. Downs can create an immense amount of separation from DBs almost instantly, and he’s a massive problem for defenses once he gets loose in space. He looks due for a massive year, and I would get on the hype train sooner rather than later.
