Max Klare, ranked as the No. 1 tight end in the NCAA transfer portal, commits to Ohio State.
Former Purdue tight end Max Klare committed to Ohio State on Monday afternoon, joining the Buckeyes as a graduate transfer. Klare, ranked as the No. 1 tight end in the NCAA transfer portal by ESPN, emerged as one of the country's most productive tight ends in 2024, recording 51 catches for 685 yards and four touchdowns. A Cincinnati native, Klare spent the past two years at Purdue , where he excelled in the Big Ten Conference.
Klare cited Ohio State head coach Ryan Day's track record of player development and the offensive vision painted by offensive coordinator Chip Kelly and tight ends coach Keenan Bailey as key factors in his decision. 'Really, when it came down to making the decision, Coach Day's ability to develop players and send them off to the NFL, the developmental process for me was huge,' Klare said. 'Just an opportunity to win a national championship and develop into a better player and play against the best competition, day in and day out,' he added. Klare is projected to make an immediate impact on Ohio State's offense alongside Will Kacmarek, known for his blocking skills. The Buckeyes are also developing talent in Bennett Christian, Jelani Thurman, and Max Leblanc. They also added four-star prospects Nate Roberts and Brody Lennon in the 2025 class. Klare is Ohio State's third transfer commitment on Monday and its fourth overall
