Signing with the Raiders means Baugh, a native of Riverside, California, will return to his home state.
According to Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle, the Raiders gave Baugh a $17,500 signing bonus.
A two-year starter for the Buckeyes at tight end, Baugh caught 28 passes for 304 yards and five touchdowns in 2017 and 24 passes for 269 yards and two touchdowns in 2016.
Baugh will now battle to earn a spot on the Raiders' tight end depth chart, which currently includes Jared Cook, Lee Smith, Derek Carrier and Pharaoh Brown.
