Max Klare News, Rumors, Updates - Purdue Boilermakers | FOX Sports

Logs 78 yards in loss Klare hauled in six of eight targets for 78 yards during Saturday's 26-20 overtime loss against Northwestern.

Impact Klare matched his season-high for targets and reception, matching his output from the Week 7 loss to Illinois. The sophomore tight end has been by fari the most consistent pass-catcher for the Boilermakers this season, and he's now averaged 4.0 catches (on 5.8 targets) for 61.8 yards across five Big Ten games. However, he's yet to score a touchdown since the start of conference play. It likely won't be easy for him to find the end zone during next week's game at No. 3-ranked Ohio State.

Logs 32 yards in loss Klare totaled three receptions (on four targets) for 32 yards during Friday's 35-0 loss versus Oregon.

Impact Klare led the Boilermakers' receiving corps in receptions and yards. This speaks to the team's lackluster passing game with Ryan Browne making his second career start in place of Hudson Card (concussion). The backup signal-caller completed just nine of 19 passes for 93 yards while facing one of the Big Ten's best teams. Klare is the team's most consistent pass-catcher, though there's been nothing consistent about this passing game. This could improve if Card is back under center for next week's home game versus Northwestern.

Tallies season-best outing Week 7 Klare compiled six receptions (on eight targets) for 133 yards during Saturday's 50-49 overtime defeat against Illinois.

Impact Klare logged season-highs across the board while also eclipsing over 100 receiving yards for the first time in his career. The sophomore tight end had a big role in Purdue's second-half explosion on offense, including a 62-yard reception on a double-reverse flea flicker in the third quarter followed by a reception on a two-point conversion pass. Redshirt freshman quarterback Ryan Browne logged 297 passing yards while starting in place of Hudson Card (concussion) on Saturday. Purdue's passing game will be at a disadvantage no matter who's under during next week's matchup versus Oregon, which was ranked No. 1 in the new AP Poll following Saturday's action.

OCTOBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Catches TD in loss Klare tallied two receptions (on five targets) for 46 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 38-21 loss to Oregon State.

Impact Klare once again served as the safety blanket for quarterback Hudson Card, who went 7-for-17 passing for 56 yards and one touchdown to one interception. The sophomore tight end was the Boilermakers' only player to log more than three targets. Klare has easily been the team's most productive pass-catcher through three games, logging 10 catches (on 17 targets) for 153 yards and two touchdowns. He'll likely need to buoy help buoy this passing game against yet another tough defense in Nebraska this coming Saturday.

SEPTEMBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

Three catches versus Fighting Irish Klare caught three of seven targets for 36 yards during Saturday's 66-7 loss versus Notre Dame.

Impact Klare was Purdue's only pass-catcher to log more than two catches or three targets against the Fightin Irish. Meanwhile, second-year starting quarterback Hudson Card had one of the worst outings of his career, going 11-for-24 passing for one touchdown and two interceptions. Through two games, Klare has logged eight catches (on 12 targets) for 107 yards and a score. The sophomore tight end looks like he should be one of Card's top targets moving forward, though he likely won't pose as much of a vertical passing threat as wideouts Jahmal Edrine, De'Nylon Morrissette and others.

Leading receiver in blowout win Klare gathered in all five targets for 71 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 49-0 win versus Indiana State.

Impact The Boilermakers' had their way against their overmatched in-state opponent. Klare got things started with a nine-yard touchdown on his team's opening offensive drive. The redshirt sophomore also tallied a team-long 43-yard reception to end the first quarter, and he went on to collect just one more catch for the remainder of the contest. He still led Purdue in catches while tying with wideout Jahmal Edrine for a team-high in targets Saturday. Klare is the Boilermakers' top returning receiver from last season when he caught 22 of 27 targets for 196 yards across five games. He should be one of the team's top pass-catchers moving forward this year.
