Klubnik Explains Why He’s Playing in Pinstripe Bowl
CLEMSON — While some of his teammates elected to opt out of playing in the Pinstripe Bowl to get ready for the NFL Draft, Clemson quarterback Cade Klubnik explained why he is choosing to play in the Dec. 27 bowl game.
Earlier this week, Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney said defensive tackle Peter Woods, defensive end T.J. Parker, cornerback Avieon Terrell and defensive tackle DeMonte Capehart would not play in the Pinstripe Bowl and will turn their attention to the NFL Draft instead. On Tuesday, wide receiver Antonio Williams also announced he was going to turn his attention to the draft process.
And though that is their own choice, Klubnik said his choice is to play in one more college game.
