Ohio State “Feels Like Home” for Max Klare, Who Transferred to Buckeyes to Become A More Complete Tight End

Even though Ohio State hasn’t historically been a haven for tight ends to put up big numbers in the passing game, Max Klare is confident he’s at the right place for his continued growth as a tight end.

Klare was one of the most productive receiving tight ends in all of college football last season, catching 51 passes for 685 yards and four touchdowns for Purdue, but he’s now surrounded with elite receivers like Jeremiah Smith, Carnell Tate and Brandon Inniss, meaning he’ll have plenty of competition for targets in Ohio State’s offense. But Klare wants to be known as a complete tight end rather than just a pass-catcher, and he expects Keenan Bailey and Ohio State to develop him into the best player he can be.
