Nick Downs was a ball-hawking Robert Morris standout with game-changing instincts
Nick Downs built his Robert Morris legacy as a playmaker in the secondary: in the 2000 season, he tied the school’s single-season interception record with 7, finished his career with 14 interceptions, and returned 4 picks for touchdowns, a school record. He also owns RMU’s interception-return yardage records, which screams range, anticipation, and instant offense after the takeaway. If you value a defensive back who flips field position and punishes quarterbacks for mistakes, Downs is the kind of impact player who changes a game in one snap.
