Ball State's Tackling Safety from the 2010 Era
J.C. Wade, a 6-1, 180-pound safety who signed with Ball State in 2010 out of Madisonville North Hopkins High School, stood out during his college career with nine starts against South Florida, posting career highs of seven tackles at Kent State and vs. Western Michigan, plus six at Central Michigan and vs. Ohio—showcasing his hard-hitting reliability in the secondary. His consistent tackle production highlights a gritty, instinctive playmaker ideal for MAC defenses, though as a Class of 2010 alum, he's no longer active; a proven fit for teams valuing veteran intensity over flash.
