Five Initial Impressions on How Shaun Wade's Opt-Out Will Affect Ohio State in Upcoming Season

The momentum, even without a vote from the presidents and chancellors happening on Sunday, appears heading toward a fall season beginning in October.

Nobody yet has come out to say such a start date is a certainty. But various reports throughout the weekend, even on Sunday evening, hinted that optimism over the season starting in October is getting increasingly higher.

That didn’t stop Shaun Wade from opting out of the upcoming college football season, though. The star cornerback went public on Monday, saying he won’t play another snap for Ohio State as he instead will spend the coming months training for the 2021 NFL draft, in which he’s projected to be selected as a first-round pick.
