Wade also spoke on what Ole Miss and Oxford mean to him. The receiver has been a key piece of the Rebels’ offense for 2 seasons now.
“Now that I’m at the end of this Ole Miss road, I’m just glad the Oxford community welcomed me the way I did,” Wade stated. “They’re the reason I’m here. I see all the encouragement and what-not on Twitter. The Ole Miss community is great and I’m thankful to be in this position.”
The Rebels will kick off against the Penn State Nittany Lions in Atlanta on Saturday at noon ET.
