Yet, he'll probably be remembered for one stinkin' block he got beat on! We need a big season from him.

Worth a read!

I know what you're thinking. Every year this theme crops up as the head coach, just like Urban Meyer did earlier this week, touts the headliner and the backups – Heuerman along with Nick Vannett and Marcus Baugh in this latest instance – as one of the most talented tight end units around only to see the group barely utilized in the passing game.....

..... Heuerman's impressive year [2013] quietly accounted for the most receptions in a single-season by a tight end since Ben Hartsock's 33 in 2003 and the most receiving yards since Dudley's 575 in 1995.

In fact, the no-brainer choice as a captain is just another 26 catches from 6th place on Ohio State's all-time tight end receiving list and needs only 383 yards to move into 2nd place all-time among Buckeye tight ends behind Bruce Janikowski. He's also just five touchdown grabs away from tying John Lumpkin for the most by a tight-end in school history with 10.

While it's nice to see how he compares to Hartsock and Dudley, I'd really like to know how well he matches up to an All-American like Giovanni Strassini. As far as I'm concerned, that guy set the standard for TEs at tOSU.

Ross Fulton weights in on tight ends this coming season:

So Buckeye tight ends have ample opportunities as receiving threats under Meyer. Glimpses of those opportunities should only become prevalent in 2014. As noted, with Brown's departure, Heuerman is perhaps Ohio State's most consistent returning receiver and should be a critical component of the 2014 passing offense. In so doing, Heuerman's legacy can perhaps be the Buckeye who finally put the Ohio State doesn't throw to the tight end notion to bed.
