The 6-foot-1, 210-pound Wade projects as running back or linebacker. He’s a good athlete that could fit somewhere else as well.

Rivals ranks Wade as a three-star prospect and Illinois’ 23rd best player in the class. Scout also lists him as a three star and the No. 3 running back in Illinois for ’16.
