With so much talent assembled on offense annually, there is always going to be someone left out on the fun. More often than not, the group that plays a huge impact in what Ohio State does without getting many touches are the tight ends. This year Jeremy Ruckert, Luke Farrell, and Jake Hausmann have combined for just 13 catches.
That doesn’t mean that opponents can sleep on Ohio State’s tight ends though, as they can do damage at critical moments of the game. Whether it be Marcus Baugh catching the game-winner in the thrilling 39-38 victory over Penn State a few years ago or Jeremy Ruckert’s miraculous catch early in the third quarter of last year’s Big Ten Championship Game, the tight ends of the Buckeyes don’t get the attention they deserve.
