Kirk Herbstreit, ESPN’s lead college football analyst, previewed the 2025 college football season by handing out his annual “Herbie Awards” during a primetime special on ESPN on Friday night.
Herbstreit picked Clemson star signal-caller Cade Klubnik as the preseason Herbies’ Best QB.
“We know that Klubnik went through some growing pains early in his career, has really matured and grown up, and really, I think, to me, has a chance to have an outstanding year for the Clemson Tigers,” Herbstreit said.
Herbstreit chose Klubnik over his other two nominees for Best QB – LSU’s Garrett Nussmeier and Florida’s DJ Lagway.
