When Alabama cornerback Kool-Aid McKinstry was asked Thursday which player he thinks should be on the cover on EA Sports’ new college football video game, his answer showed how highly he thinks of Ohio State’s newest safety.

“I definitely think (the cover athlete should be) between Caleb Downs and Jalen Milroe,” said McKinstry, an All-American cornerback at Alabama who could be a first-round pick in the 2024 NFL draft.

While McKinstry played at Alabama for three years with Milroe, Alabama’s returning starter at quarterback, he played with Downs for only one year before McKinstry entered the NFL draft and Downs transferred to Ohio State.
