Overview
Wade will be remembered for his controversial-at-absolute-best targeting ejection from the Fiesta Bowl. That play definitely changed the momentum and flow of the game, and finally gave Clemson a chance to get back in it.
The play was not entirely Wade’s fault. Like Chris Olave and the season-ending interception, it should not define him. Wade provided so much to the Buckeyes over the season, and he will be an integral piece of Ohio State’s 2020 success.
With Jeff Okudah, Damon Arnette, and Jordan Fuller all off to the NFL, the Buckeyes will need more NFL-level talent in the secondary to make up for it.
Wade absolutely has that talent. It will be up to him to show it and lead this defense to its full capabilities if the Buckeyes want to be an elite contender this year.
