Wade was projected to be a first round pick after last season, but he decided to come back for his senior season at Ohio State and was elected a team captain this summer. Due to the uncertainty of a season for the Big Ten, Wade decided he didn’t want to wait any longer to figure out his future.
Wade is the second Buckeye to declare for the 2021 NFL Draft after offensive guard Wyatt Davis declared earlier this month.
