I’ll say it. His reputation got him this award but his play this year did not warrant it. He may be the best DB in the Big Ten, but he did not play like it this season.

I assume he'll win the Thorpe for this very reason.....since the guy from LSU who sucked last year won it over the #3 pick in the draft.

SKULL SESSION: SHAUN WADE GETS HIS SHOT AT “SUNSHINE,” THE COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF WOULD POSTPONE IF NECESSARY, AND JONATHON COOPER IS “THE CULTURE OF OHIO STATE”
“I'M BACK SUNSHINE.” There are going to be a lot of Buckeyes seeking redemption for what happened on the field against Clemson last year, but you can be damn sure Shaun Wade is going to be at the top of the list.
See, he didn't even have a chance to feel the game slip through his fingers on the field like the rest of his teammates. He had to watch it happen alone on television from an empty locker room.
Beneath a throbbing crowd, Wade sat alone. The equipment manager passed through a few times. J.K. Dobbins ran in to get his ankle taped, then bolted back out. Wade watched him leave and wished like hell he could go with him. But otherwise, he was left by himself, with the TV and the sour taste of disappointment. He fielded a slew of FaceTime calls to ward off a creeping loneliness. His mother FaceTimed him, but she was still in the belly of the stadium and it was hard to talk above the din. His godsister FaceTimed him too, and he put on a brave face and a small smile for her 6-year-old son, who wanted only to regale Wade with tales of seeing Uncle Shaun on TV. Finally, he FaceTimed his girlfriend, Jordan Fields, who was back home in Florida.
...
"If you don't feel like talking, if you just want me to be on the phone ...," she started. "Whenever you're ready, you can just talk."
Ten minutes passed. Fifteen.
"I think he was ... just stunned," Fields says.
Eventually, Wade broke the silence.
"I wish I could go out there and coach," he said. "At least stand on the sidelines."
...
Wade isn't a rabble-rouser, she's saying. He isn't prone to histrionics. Wade swears he allowed himself a month to put that play, and that night, behind him. But the line between moving beyond calamity and burying it is thin and precarious and sometimes easier for others to see than it is to see yourself.
"He couldn't go out like that," Fields says. "That did not sit right with him at all."
Which is perhaps why Wade didn't just choose to return to Ohio State once. He chose to do so twice.
I'm not going to pretend Shaun Wade's had anywhere near the dominant season I think he was universally expected to have, but if you don't think he's about to play the game of his life on Jan. 1, then you just haven't been paying attention.

Oh man are we going to see a hungry Wade. I'm hoping he gets his two pounds of flesh for last year. Obviously I just want to win no matter how it happens, but it would be extra sweet to see Mr. Wade vindicated with a huge performance against Clemson.

Both Davis and Wade picked up their second major All-American honor on Tuesday when the pair were named first-team All-Americans by Sporting News.

This time, the Football Writer's Association of America voted Ohio State guard Wyatt Davis as a first-team All-American, meaning he becomes the latest consensus All-American since he has appeared on more than half of the NCAA's designated selectors. Wide receiver Garrett Wilson and Shaun Wade were picked as second-team All-Americans.
