2025 Fantasy Outlook
Klare was easily the nation's best tight end in the transfer portal in the offseason, and the Buckeyes snatched him up right away. Formerly at Purdue, the Buckeyes had a solid game plan for him in a 45-3 blowout at home, but the game was an outlier compared to the rest of his junior campaign. Klare led the Boilermakers with 51 catches, 685 yards and four touchdowns. Julian Sayin will have many receiving options at his disposal, so there is reason to believe Klare may see a small downgrade in production, though Klare is likely higher in the pecking order for targets than the tight end room the Buckeyes employed last season. Ohio State isn't known for excellence at the tight end position, but Klare is set to flip the script. Read Past Outlooks
Putting name in draft
Klare announced Tuesday that he'll forgo a fifth season of eligibility at Ohio State to enter the 2026 NFL Draft, Pete Thamel of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The 6-foot-5, 243-pound Klare profiles as one of the top tight-end prospects in the 2026 draft class, so his decision to bring an end to his four-year collegiate career isn't overly surprising. After three years at Purdue, Klare transferred to Ohio State ahead of the 2025 campaign and turned in an impressive redshirt junior campaign. While appearing in all 14 of the Buckeyes' games, Klare accrued a 43-448-2 receiving line on 56 targets.
