Max Klare 2026 NFL Draft Profile | TE from Ohio State
Scouting Report
Max Klare is the preliminary TE1 in the 2026 NFL Draft class, bringing explosive athleticism and good hands to a position group that lacks elite talent. The 6'4", 240-pound Ohio State tight end transferred from Purdue after a productive career where he caught 51 passes and earned third-team All-Big Ten honors despite playing in an offense that struggled. The tape shows the best route-running tight end in the class-he has a natural feel for separating that translates directly to the NFL. Klare wins with great overall athleticism and nuance as a route runner to create separation windows, excelling particularly against zone coverage where he displays an instinctive feel for gaps. He's a very good route runner in the short passing game who understands how to create separation and makes good decisions on choice routes. Born into an athletic family-his father Andy was a former Boston College nose guard, and his left-handed power hitting drew MLB attention-Klare brings focused mentality to his craft. In 2025 at Ohio State, he has 43 receptions for 448 yards and 2 touchdowns, though his production has suffered with many mouths to feed in the Buckeyes' explosive offense. His blocking remains a work in progress, which is key to achieving complete TE1 status.
