Keenan Bailey to replace Kevin Wilson as Ohio State football TE coach

On Dec 10, 2022

Keenan Bailey will be promoted to tight ends coach to replace Kevin Wilson, Ohio State confirmed on Saturday.

Tulsa hired Wilson, who’s OSU’s offensive coordinator as well as tight ends coach, as its head coach on Monday. Wilson will remain with the Buckeyes until their season ends.

Bailey has been with the Ohio State program for seven years. His current title is senior advisor to head coach Ryan Day after serving for three years as a quality-control coach, primarily working with quarterbacks and wide receivers.

Bailey is well-regarded inside the program. Tight end Cade Stover raved about Bailey’s help this past offseason when Stover transitioned back to tight end. He said they worked at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center three nights a week.

“We’d come here and work on the basics – footwork on breaks, different kind of speed cuts, different moves, and hand work,” Stover said.

“I have no words to describe how much that guy means to me and this place itself. He’s a lot of guys’ outlet. He’s here for our players. He has an awesome, super-good mind, and he’s genuine. There’s no gray area with him whatsoever.”
