Lathan Ransom thought about the possibility of Max Klare transferring to Ohio State before Klare even entered the transfer portal.
After Ohio State faced Purdue in November, Ransom went to Keenan Bailey and told the Buckeyes’ tight ends coach that he thought they should pursue Klare if he jumped in the portal after the season.
When Klare actually entered the portal one month later, joining a large group of Boilermakers who did so after Purdue fired former coach Ryan Walters, Ransom’s prophecy came true. The former Boilermaker chose to sign with Ohio State after also considering other top programs like Texas, Michigan, Louisville and Texas A&M.
