Klein was born in Germany and grew up in Cologne, initially playing soccer and basketball as a youth before turning to American football.[1] He played for the junior team of the Cologne Crocodiles.[2] Klein later transferred to Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School, a boarding school in Rabun Gap, Georgia, to play high school football in the United States.[3] He was rated as a three-star recruit and committed to play college football at the University of Michigan.[4]
In 2022, Klein enrolled at the University of Michigan and played in two games as a freshman before redshirting the season.[5] In 2023, he played in ten games, winning the national championship with Michigan that season. He also made his first collegiate reception, finishing the year with one catch for eight yards.[6]
In 2024, Klein moved into a larger role. In week three versus Arkansas State, he was Michigan’s leading receiver with three receptions for 43 yards.[7]
