Coming off a 1-11 season, Purdue could ill afford to lose Max Klare -- the No. 1 tight end in the transfer portal -- but he is leaving the Boilermakers for rival Ohio State.

Klare, a redshirt sophomore who led Purdue with 51 catches for 685 yards and four touchdowns in 2024, is a four-star prospect in 247Sports' transfer portal rankings.
