TE Marcus Baugh (Birmingham Stallions)

BAUGH GOES UNDER THE KNIFE. It's officially surgery season, folks. With a multi-week hiatus from all football related activities, it's prime time for players to have any and all ailments mended. It appears tight end Marcus Baugh was the first Buckeye to go under the knife,



Baugh is the top returning pass-catcher in 2017, which is a curious development for a team that doesn't throw to the tight end.

Risking the jinx here, but under Wilson's guidance as TE position coach and Wilson's use of the TE in play calls, I can see Baugh blowing up huge...

I actually agree; especially if none of the WRs has a really big breakout year. Baugh could easily be the "go to" guy; in addition, he has the athletic ability to be a "big play" highlight reel guy too, see a couple examples:

Baugh Hurdles Back Into Coaches’ Good Graces

17-10-07-FB-1438.jpg


On a day filled with Buckeye touchdowns, the most memorable score came from senior tight end Marcus Baugh.

Baugh caught a pass from J.T. Barrett, turned upfield, hurdled a Maryland defender at the 5, stuck the landing and continued into the end zone to give the Buckeyes a 27-7 lead and effectively put the game out of reach.

It was the second time Baugh had pulled off a hurdle against Maryland in as many years. He said he knew what he had to do when he saw where the defender was looking.

“I was looking at him, but he was looking at my legs, so I just knew and I just did it,” said Baugh.

“It’s kind of assumed when you get someone smaller. You just kind of wait and look at their body language when they try to come make a tackle.”

That was Baugh’s only reception on the day, but his teammates know it was just a part of his contribution to the offense.

“A lot of good things,” said senior OL Billy Price. “His development throughout the year and I think the offensive culture itself is changing as well. You see last week when we played Rutgers, Johnnie Dixon caught that pass I think it was right before halftime and Marcus’ block was why he got in the end zone.”
