08/21/22 - QB Cade Klubnik, Jr/2026, Clemson

Though DJ Uiagalelei remains the No. 4 Tigers' clear starter, Cade Klubnik's performance across two preseason camp scrimmages have further emphasized just how ready the backup is. "The game has slowed down for him," Swinney said Wednesday. "Cade has done an awesome job," offensive coordinator Brandon Streeter added Monday. "He's done nothing but continue to get better and better and better." Klubnik looked mostly sharp in his unofficial Clemson debut in the Tigers' April spring game, completing 15 of 23 passes for 106 yards and a touchdown to Uiagalelei's 17 of 36, 175-yard stat line. But the early enrollee also took five "sacks" - plays whistled dead since defenders weren't allowed to hit the purple jersey-wearing quarterbacks - and, as is frequent with freshmen, needed to bulk up for transition from high school to college football.

Consider the latter point solved. The 6-foot-2 Klubnik jumped from 185 pounds in January to 197 in August, making up a frame that the 6-4, 234-pound Uiagalelei doesn't quite dwarf. And though Klubnik's "purple jersey syndrome" is still a lingering issue, Swinney said he's playing smarter - and more dynamically - in the pocket. Added weight also hasn't done anything to slow down the former No. 6 national recruit. "Cade, he's a problem in the pocket because he's really, really fast," Swinney said. "It's just awesome, because he can really create. It's good for Clemson. It's also good for our defense to see some speed like that, because he can really, really run." - The State
