We’re just hoping we haven’t seen the last of Shaun Wade. His absence in the secondary was apparent when he left games last season, and he made the decision to come back for one more year as opposed to leave early for the 2020 NFL Draft.

His father has gone on record stating that he’d sit out a spring season, so hopefully there’s a change of heart if we see college football in Columbus once the calendar turns. Either way, he’s likely a first-round NFL draft pick in late spring.
