Watch: Clemson QB Cade Klubnik | 2025 Players To Watch

Clemson quarterback Cade Klubnik enters the season after a 2024 comeback season for the ages. Many wondered if Klubnik could live up to the immense pressure placed upon him as a highly touted five-star freshman. He answered the bell this season with a third-team All-ACC campaign after passing for 3.639 yards, rushing for 463 yards and being responsible for 43 scores. After Klubnik placed 102nd among FBS signal-callers in 2023 with a 63.9 passing grade, he was fifth in 2024 with an 87.7 mark according to Pro Football Focus.  He was also fifth among all quarterbacks in America with 28 big-time throws (PFF). Many pundits have pegged him as a top 5 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Klubnik, defensive lineman Peter Woods, ACC Digital Network's Wes Bryant and Clemson Head Coach Dabo Swinney describe what makes this field general perhaps the ACC's finest talent in 2025.
