Ohio State football adds one of the Big Ten’s top tight ends from the transfer portal
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Former Purdue tight end Max Klare is transferring to Ohio State football.
He collected 52 catches for 685 yards and four touchdowns en route to third-team All-Big Ten honors this year.
Across the last two seasons with the Boilermakers, he caught 73 passes for 881 yards. Klare appeared in only one game as a true freshman in 2022.
He is a native of Guilford, Indiana. However, he has connections to Ohio.
Klare attended St. Xavier High School in Cincinnati. He was a three-star prospect in the 2022 recruiting class, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings.
Klare is the second portal addition for the Buckeyes with connections to Ohio.
Offensive lineman Phillip Daniels was also a Cincinnati product who left to play in the Big Ten (Minnesota) before transferring to OSU this offseason.
Klare gives Ohio State help as tight end Gee Scott will be out of eligibility soon.
Barring any departures, Ohio State will have Jelani Thurman, Bennett Christian and Will Kacmarek back to compete with Klare.
The Buckeyes will also have Maxence LeBlanc, who didn’t play as a freshman this year, and incoming freshmen Nate Roberts and Brody Lennon on the roster.
