Shaun Wade is one of the best defensive back prospects in the entire 2017 class.

A native of Jacksonville, the 5-star prospect has been committed to Urban Meyer and Ohio State since January of last year. However, that hasn’t stopped one in-state program from pursuing him:

Wade is an exceptional overall athlete. At 6-foot-1, he’s got great size for a corner — and fits the mold of the new-age defensive back.

He pairs terrific short-area quickness with considerable length. Needless to say, but there’s reason why virtually every major program has offered Wade a scholarship.

It won’t be easy to pull Wade away from his OSU commitment, but Florida appears to have a puncher’s chance with Signing Day roughly three months away.
