Clemson has turned its season around after struggling in Week 1 against Georgia, particularly on the offensive side of the ball. Quarterback Cade Klubnik has been a big part of that turnaround as he is making plays with both his arm and legs.

Dabo Swinney recently opened up about Klubnik’s growth as a player.

“The exception is to come in and be this phenom freshman,” Swinney said. “That can’t be the expectation. That’s really more the exception.”

Klubnik didn’t win a national championship as a first-year Tigers player like Lawrence. He didn’t even start his first game until the postseason of his true freshman campaign. And to say his sophomore season was rocky would be an understatement.

But, finally, Klubnik is putting it all together in his third year with the program and his second as the team’s full-time starter. Following a rough opener against then-No. 1 Georgia, Klubnik has posted a 67.9% completion percentage and a 12:1 touchdown-to-interception ratio. What’s more, he’s ran for an additional four touchdowns, meaning he already has 16 scores this season, just seven shy of his season total from 2023.

“I think you can really hurt kids when you put them out there before they’re ready,” Swinney said. “He wasn’t ready as a freshman. You put him in there in the Georgia Tech game, and at the end of the game, he has a good drive in the fourth quarter, and we got to start him the next week — you know, that’s these narratives that you get.”
