Assistant Coach
He will be especially important next year as the TE position is in a rebuild of sorts. Looks promising in a couple years, but next year we will have redshirt or true freshmen there only. Outside of Baugh.

Exactly. The receiving corps next season will be very green outside of Baugh. With Noah Brown out all of this season, Baugh, Marshall, and Samuel will be keyed in on.
I'm hoping the coach staff works on a lot of curl and 10 yard slants with Baugh, he has the body to work the middle. 2016 will look a lot like 2005 IMO.

Ain’t nobody got time for that
Baugh was blocking like a grown ass man out there. The biggest difference I noticed between Baugh from earlier this year to last Saturday was how he was sustaining blocks. It seemed like before he was content with making initial contact and then kinda just standing in the way. Saturday he was engaging and was absolutely tenacious about continuing the engagement until the whistle blew. Impressive.

You know what? Chicken butt.
Urban goes above and beyond to reward loyalty and doing things the right way. He will get his due reward.

Baugh looked big and athletic the only time I've seen him targeted. Hope he can have a bigger role in 2016.

Really like his athleticism. Made a nice catch against ND and did a good job blocking.

Take this with a grain of salt because I wasn't paying consistently close attention, but whenever I did take a second to watch Marcus, he was dominating his man; I mean driving his man 5 yards downfield domination. Then again, whenever I paid attention to Vannett it seemed like half the time he was missing a block. So maybe it was just the luck of the draw that I noticed Baugh at his best and Vannett at his worst. At the very least, Baugh has the potential to be a complete player.

BAUGH POISED TO BE BREAKOUT PERFORMER FOR OHIO STATE'S OFFENSE IN 2016
In a career full of stops and starts thus far, tight end Marcus Baugh finally seemed to start for good in 2015, positioning himself to have a breakout 2016. The Riverside, CA, native played in all 13 games this season, putting a troubled past in the rearview mirror. His statistics weren’t gaudy, but Ohio State doesn’t throw to the tight end often and Baugh’s blocking is what got him — and kept him — on the field this season.
The trouble in No. 85’s past has been well documented. Multiple busts for underage drinking nearly derailed Baugh’s Ohio State career before it began. He was arrested in July of 2013 for underage drinking and possession of a fake I.D. at 11th and High. That led to a redshirt freshman season for the 6-foot-5, 255-pound tight end with hands that are Downy-soft.
Another such incident in January of 2014 got him suspended indefinitely from the team and had him teetering on the brink of washing out of the Ohio State football program. In the end, Baugh was suspended for the first two games of the 2014 season for what Urban Meyer called “stuff.”
"Marcus then had some issues, he’s one foot in, one foot out right now," Meyer told reporters, awhile back.
Still, Meyer and Tight Ends Coach Tim Hinton stuck by the talented Californian. Baugh had to earn his way back into the good graces of the coaching staff. He did that. After his suspension in 2014, Baugh played 12 games during the Buckeyes’ national championship season, seeing time mostly on special teams. He played tight end in three games, scoring on a two-yard reception against Kent State on his first career reception. He played 18 plays — all on special teams — in the College Football Playoff wins over Alabama and Oregon. To earn the trust of the coaching staff enough to see time in such huge games, even if only on special teams, meant Baugh had finally turned the corner.
