Former Purdue tight end Max Klare has committed to Ohio State, he told ESPN. He's the No. 1 tight end in the NCAA transfer portal in ESPN's rankings.
Klare is a redshirt sophomore who'll have two years of eligibility remaining. He emerged as one of the country's most productive tight ends in 2024, as he hauled in 51 passes for 685 yards and four receiving touchdowns. All of those numbers led the Boilermakers in 2024.
He pointed to coach Ryan Day's history of developing players and the plan laid out to him by offensive coordinator Chip Kelly and tight ends coach Keenan Baily as playing a big role in his decision.
