Cornerback Shaun Wade announces return to Buckeyes

College Football, Ohio State Buckeyes

Ohio State cornerback Shaun Wade is returning to the Buckeyes for the 2020 season, writing simply in an Instagram photo Saturday "I'm back."

Wade, listed as the No. 6 cornerback draft prospect by ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr., had two sacks, one interception and one forced fumble this season. He also led the Buckeyes with eight pass breakups and was a third-team All-Big Ten selection.

But his year ended on a down note when he was ejected from the PlayStation Fiesta Bowl for a targeting hit on Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence.

The Tigers, who trailed 16-0 before Wade's ejection, went on to defeat the Buckeyes 29-23 and advance to the CFP championship game.
