I have a suggestion if he can't stay healthy on the DL side...red shirt him...let him get healthy...and then move him to center as was considered when he arrived on campus....it's a shame to waste his abilities....JMHO

Consider how much he gets hurt he'll probably be out of the DT rotation a bit this year with Brockers, Ferguson, Freak and Logan.

If he wants a future in football, he'll move for his own good...he may just be on the small side to play DT...he could compete at center at 290...

What makes you think a switch to the OL will keep him injury free??

He should have been moved to FB 2 years ago when it was obvious that he could not add the weight or take the beatings that an undersized DT will take. CJ Copeland was moved as a freshman from DT to FB. He is bigger than Downs. Copeland should have stayed at DT and Downs moved to FB.
