Gus Penning was Baylor’s steady, blocking-first TE with NFL-size frame and big-game value
In the 2015 season, Gus Penning gave Baylor a classic tough-guy tight end profile: a 6-6, 250-pound blocker who also chipped in as a reliable target, finishing with 5 catches for 101 yards while making four starts and appearing in 10 games[1][2]. He was especially useful in a physical, run-heavy role and had the size, JUCO pedigree, and team-first mentality that coaches like when they need a TE who can help the edge game and not just catch passes[1][3].
