Bailey has been part of the Ohio State football coaching staff in some capacity since 2016. He was named the tight ends coach – his first full-time coaching role with the program – by Buckeyes head coach Ryan Day in January of this year.

Ohio State has two commits in the class of 2024 from Ginn Academy, cornerback Bryce West and tight end Demarion Witten. The pair are expected to sign with the Buckeyes when next season's signing period opens on Dec. 20.

Ginn Academy is an all-boys school founded in 2007 by Ted Ginn Sr., the father of former Ohio State and NFL player Ted Ginn Jr. The former is the head coach of Glenville High School's football team, whom West and Witten played for. Ginn Sr. also coaches track and field for Glenville.
