DB Shaun Wade (1st Team All American, New England Patriots)

SHAUN WADE SHOULD BE “READY TO ROLL” IN BIG TEN CHAMPIONSHIP GAME AGAINST WISCONSIN AFTER MISSING GAME AGAINST MICHIGAN

Ohio State anticipates having one of its major contributors back on defense next weekend.

Ryan Day said cornerback Shaun Wade is expected to play in the Big Ten championship game against Wisconsin. The junior sat out of Saturday's 56-27 win against Michigan with an undisclosed injury despite going through all of his pregame warmups. He had been listed as a game-time decision.

"We just determined that he wasn't quite ready," Day said Sunday on a teleconference. "We wanted to be smart with that, and I think we made the right decision. We'll just keep letting him heal up, and he should be ready to roll for this week."

SKULL SESSION: SHAUN WADE RUMORED TO ENTER THE DRAFT, BUCKEYE FANS DOMINATING INDIANAPOLIS, AND THE FOOTBALL TEAM AND BASKETBALL TEAM SHARE MOTIVATION

SHAUN WADE TO THE DRAFT?
With J.K. Dobbins, Chase Young and Jeff Okudah almost surely heading pro after the season, Shaun Wade is basically the only underclassman with a decision to make, and it looks like he's leaning towards the money.

Tony Pauline of Pro Football Network has reason the believe that Wade will take his talents to the next level following the season.

I was told you can expect Clemson LB Isaiah Simmons, Alabama OT Alex Leatherwood, and Ohio State DB Shaun Wade to enter the 2020 NFL Draft.

Simmons is a top-15 talent on my board. Leatherwood is a bottom-half of round one guy. I presently grade Wade as a third-round prospect, though I could see him moving into the second round.

I'm nowhere near shocked that he'd leave, and frankly think he's more than ready for The League after watching him this season, but I would be shocked if he actually got a third-round grade or if he actually left with a third-round grade.

Because to my expert blogger eye, that's a clear-cut first-round talent.

Albert Breer was on Rich Eisens show a couple days ago and mentioned Wade is viewed as a first rounder on some NFL teams’ boards.

Breer is also an OSU grad and homer, so take that for what it’s worth.

Shaun Wade Making Most of Annual Coaching Changes at Ohio State

Shaun-Wade-diving.jpg


When the only constant is change, adaptability is going to become a strength.

Take Ohio State redshirt sophomore cornerback Shaun Wade, for instance. Wade’s first position coach at OSU was Kerry Coombs way back in 2017. Fast-forward to present day and Wade is now finishing up his third season as a Buckeye and is also saying goodbye to his third position coach.

Wade signed with the Buckeyes in part to be coached by Coombs and to be better prepared for an eventual NFL career.

Coombs surprisingly left for the NFL’s Tennessee Titans following the 2017 season.

Wade’s true freshman season was a difficult one. He redshirted due to an abdominal injury and struggled to find his footing.

Urban Meyer tabbed former Buckeye cornerbacks coach Taver Johnson to replace Coombs, and a healthy Wade found a role as the Buckeyes’ nickel back, splitting time between corner and safety and whatever else the defense needed from him.

When Meyer retired, new head coach Ryan Day replaced every defensive assistant except for Larry Johnson on the defensive line. He brought in Jeff Hafley and Matt Barnes to coach the secondary, essentially giving Wade — and his teammates — four different position coaches over a three-year span.

Despite the upheaval and the changing nature of preferred coverage techniques and coaching styles, Wade has had his best season as a Buckeye. As the team’s slot corner, he is an integral part of what Ryan Day wants his defense to be.

When he found out that Hafley was leaving to take over at Boston College, Wade was surprised just like all of his teammates were.

“I’m surprised but happy,” he said. “He’s family at the end of the day. So, understand he had his family, that was his dream. So everybody has a dream at the end of the day so you gotta do what you gotta do.”

Wade himself has a dream of playing in the NFL and that decision could be made within the next month.

But should Wade choose to come back for a fourth season, he will be dealing with his fourth position coach in the same amount of years.

Despite the changes, he has found a way to see it as a positive.

“My whole life has been like that,” Wade said. “I’ve played on several basketball teams, several football teams and different coaches teach you different things. So, at the end of the day, the league is like that too, they come and go. You learn from different cultures, learn different things, different schemes, different techniques. Everyone has their flaw so you just learn from different coaches.”
