Wade runs 4.43 in 40 at second OSU pro day
Cornerback Shaun Wade ran the 40yard dash in 4.43 seconds at Ohio State's second pro day on Wednesday, his agent said.
Michael Perrett of Element Sports Group, which represents Wade, tweeted the result following the workout at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center.
Had Wade gone through the Buckeyes' previous pro day on March 30, his time in the 40-yard dash would have been the fastest among all of the program's draft prospects, edging quarterback Justin Fields, who recorded unofficial times of 4.44 and 4.45 seconds.
A turf toe injury, nagging Wade since last fall, prompted him to postpone his pro-day workout for two weeks.
In other on-field drills held Wednesday, he posted a 37.5-inch vertical jump and 10-foot-3 broad jump.
The times should help Wade bolster his stock for the draft, which is to be held April 30-May 1.
Fields was also reportedly throwing in front of NFL personnel during the second pro day workout, but no other Ohio State prospects were known to be going through testing alongside Wade.
Ohio State to host TBT regionals this summer
One year after the entire event took place here, The Basketball Tournament is again returning to Columbus.
TBT announced that Ohio State's Covelli Center will serve as a regional site and host games that will take place from July 23-27. Last year, the event was held entirely in a bubble in Downtown Columbus with all games played at Nationwide Arena.
Carmen's Crew, the team primarily comprised of former Ohio State players, will be a "featured team." The same goes for Red Scare, which primarily consists of former Dayton players.
The Covelli Center was to host the same event last year until the COVID-19 pandemic forced massive changes to the tournament. When it got underway, Carmen's Crew took a first-round upset one year after winning the 2019 tournament and its $1 million, winner-take-all prize.
Each regional site will host 14 teams and feed into championship weekend, which will be held in Dayton from July 31-Aug. 3. Ticket information will be released as the event draws closer.
Man accuses Rams’ Donald of assault at Pittsburgh club
PITTSBURGH – A lawyer and his 26year-old client told Pittsburgh police Wednesday that Los Angeles Rams defensive lineman Aaron Donald and others assaulted the man at a nightclub last weekend, causing multiple injuries
Attorney Todd J. Hollis said his client, De'vincent Spriggs, needed 16 stitches and suffered a broken orbital bone in his head, a broken nose and a sprained or broken arm at a bar on East Carson Street in the city's South Side.
“We believe there was a misunderstanding that Mr. Spriggs bumped into Mr. Donald and Mr. Donald escalated the matter, leading to my client's assault moments later,” Hollis said.
Hollis said Spriggs, who lives in another state, was taken by a friend to a hospital for treatment. The alleged attack occurred around 3 a.m. Sunday, he said. Hollis released a photo that showed Spriggs with facial injuries and swelling.
Hollis and Spriggs filed a criminal complaint with Pittsburgh police on Wednesday.
