"German Shepherd" Klubnik pushing Uiagalelei during spring practice

The position battle that everyone around Clemson is watching this spring is quarterback, where the incumbent is trying to hold off the German Shepherd puppy. According to offensive coordinator Brandon Streeter, no one has earned a starting spot. Not yet.

Returning starter DJ Uiagalelei’s struggles during the 2021 season are well-documented and he entered the spring looking to take advantage of lost weight, fix his mechanics and keep a grasp on his starting spot. On his heels? Five-star signal-caller Cade Klubnik, who many expect to push Uiagalelei for that starting spot all season.
