Ohio State cornerback Shaun Wade has found himself on yet another preseason college football watch list, and this time is from the folks at the Football Writers Association who manage the Nagurski Trophy.
Wade has already appeared on the Bednarik and Thorpe — and now he’s also on the Nagurski that goes annually to the player deemed to be the best defender in college football. It has been handed out annually since 1993 in partnership by the FWAA and the Charlotte Touchdown Club.
Wade comes into his junior year expected to be one of the best corners in the nation. He was a former five-star recruit and should get a chance to shine as the Buckeyes No. 1 defensive back this fall.
Ohio State has had two winners of the Nagurski Trophy. Linebacker James Laurinaitis won it back in 2007, and Chase Young brought home the trophy last season.
