Max Klare played high school football at St. Xavier (OH), where he was a three-star prospect. He was the No. 1,220 overall recruit and No. 78 tight end in the 2022 recruiting cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

During his senior year at St. Xavier, Klare amassed 39 catches for 637 yards and five touchdowns. He wasn’t only successful on the gridiron. He was a standout on the baseball field, as well. Now, Klare will look to take his diverse talents elsewhere.
