The Big Ten announced its decision Tuesday to postpone fall sports. Just minutes after, the Pac-12 made the decision to postpone their season as well.
With two of the Power Five conferences not playing, the entire college football season is up in the air. The SEC, ACC and Big 12 still have plans to have their conference-only seasons, but there are a number of players, coaches and teams that college football fans will miss watching dearly.
The No. 5 player we will miss watching most this year from the Big Ten and Pac-12 is Ohio State junior cornerback Shaun Wade.
Wade stands at 6-foot-1, 195 pounds and was a member of the 2020 Bednarik Award preseason watch list, presented annually to the most outstanding defensive player in college football.
Wade has accumulated 53 total tackles (41 solo), 14 pass deflections, 2 sacks, 2 forced fumbles and 4 interceptions in his two years with the Buckeyes. He was named Player of the Game following wins over Rutgers and Michigan State and earned a third-team All-Big Ten selection by the coaches and media.
Wade was set to be the leader of the Buckeyes’ secondary in 2020 after playing in all 14 games as a third-year sophomore last season. He was considering entering the 2020 NFL Draft but opted to return for his junior year after having his true freshman season cut short due to injury.
