I actually had my first opportunity to see Wade in-person on Saturday, at Michigan State's camp. No doubt he looks the part physically and could project to either RB or LB in college. What was interesting is that he looks to have plenty of room on his frame to add bulk and not sacrifice athleticism.

Wade also has great straight line speed; where he needs to improve is in his change of direction... but it is not bad, just not up to the level of his straightline acceleration. There wasn't much more I took out of seeing him in-person that we had not already identified on film. This is a kid who will test off the charts and has the unteachable aspects of size and speed that college coaches love, he just needs some refinement as a football player.
