Cornerback, Shaun Wade
The press release on Davis
Wade, a fourth-year junior from Jacksonville, is tops among defensive backs on the Buckeyes with 16 tackles. He’s added three pass breakups and has an interception in each of the last two games. His “pick six” against Indiana on Nov. 21 gave Ohio State a 42-21 lead in the third quarter of a game that they won 42-35.
Like Davis, Wade also earned a major award from the Big Ten Conference: he was selected as the Woodson-Tatum Defensive Back of the Year, becoming the first Buckeye in the 10-year history of the award to win it.
Also, it should be mentioned that defensive tackle Haskell Garrett also was named to the AP All-American team, but as a Second-Teamer. It’s still a huge honor, and probably one in which Garrett didn’t get enough credit for what he’s done this year.
