03/28/2013 - 2013 Baylor Pro Day: Ivory Wade, C (6-3 5/8, 313) - Wade - who was not at the combine - ran the 40 in 5.17 and 5.11 seconds. He had a 27-inch vertical jump and an 8-foot-3 broad jump. He did the short shuttle in 4.91 seconds and the three-cone drill in 7.65 seconds. He also performed 26 lifts of 225 pounds on the bench press. Wade made 43 starts on the Bears' offensive line. His solid college career could earn him a look as a rookie free agent this summer. - Gil Brandt, NFL.com

Overview

Over the past three years, Baylor has had two centers selected in the top 120 picks of the NFL Draft: JD Walton in 2010 and Philip Blake this past April. Wade, who started at right tackle last season, will replace Blake as the Bears' starting pivot in 2012 and could also hear his name in the NFL Draft.

After originally committing to Texas A&M as a junior in high school, he switched to Baylor as a senior and played immediately in Waco.


Wade started the final seven games of 2009 as a true freshman at left guard, earning numerous All-Freshman conference honors. He moved to right tackle in 2010 and has started every game there the past two seasons as a sophomore and junior. Wade enters his senior season in 2012 as the most experienced member of the Bears roster, having started the past 33 games.


Analysis

Wade is an athletic, mobile lineman with the feet to work in space and get to the second level, flashing the aggressive nature to deliver a pop at the point of attack. However, he needs to stay balanced in his sets and not overextend or play out of control. Wade is a veteran blocker with versatile experience and will leave the college ranks with extensive playing time at tackle, guard and center ? an extremely appealing line item on his resume to the NFL.
