While his wait lasted much longer than most would have guessed a year ago, Shaun Wade has been selected in the NFL draft.
The Baltimore Ravens drafted Wade with the No. 160 overall pick in the fifth round of the 2021 NFL draft on Saturday.
Wade is the ninth Buckeye selected in this year's draft, joining first-round pick Justin Fields, second-round picks Pete Werner and Josh Myers, third-round picks Wyatt Davis, Trey Sermon and Baron Browning, fourth-round pick Tommy Togiai and fifth-round pick Luke Farrell.
With Wade's selection, Ohio State has now had at least one defensive back selected in eight consecutive NFL drafts.
