I won't pretend if he doesn't pretend he's "committed."

I agree with what an earlier posted said below.

Saban always talked about players creating value for themselves, not charging down the guns for UA.

Probably not talking about commitment to a team, but a commitment to taking the steps necessary to be successful in life.

The problem with what you're saying is that transferring to Ohio State is not a step that's going to make him more successful in life. Just the opposite, actually, because their defensive coaching has been horrible in recent years. His development will be worse and of course if you know anything about the Buckeyes culture historically, you know there won't be any effort to teach him anything about character , which he's suggesting is important.

There's a handful of people for whom athletes can do no wrong and must always be protected from mean people on the internet. Besides them, everyone would respect Downs more if he was just honest and spoke on this like Randy Moss once did - "Straight cash, homie."
