Early years

Wade was born in Austin, Texas. In fifth grade he moved to Round Rock, Texas, where he attended Stony Point High School, playing football (including a stint at quarterback as well as other positions on both offense and defense) and basketball. Baseball player Hubie Brooks is his distant cousin.[1]

College career

Wade attended the University of Arizona from 2007 to 2011. He finished his career with 182 tackles, 12 interceptions and two touchdowns.

Professional career

Coming out of Arizona, Wade was projected to be a third round pick by the majority of NFL draft experts and scouts. He received an invitation to the NFL combine and completed nearly all of the combine and positional drills, choosing to only skip the 20-yard dash. His 40-yard dash was the 19th fastest time out of the 34 cornerbacks at the combine and his bench press was the 10th best performance out of the 19 cornerbacks who participated.[2] Wade was ranked the 12th best cornerback prospect in the draft by NFLDraftScout.com and the 25th best cornerback prospect by Walterfootball.com.[3][4]
