What a difference a year has made for Clemson quarterback Cade Klubnik.
Klubnik made major strides, culminating in the Tigers’ quarterback slicing up the Texas secondary in the opening round of the College Football Playoff like no other quarterback had done last season. Although Clemson lost that game, the performance of its offense that day sparked big expectations for the offseason.
Klubnik was seen as one of the top returning quarterbacks in the country. His PFF passing grade of 87.7 was tops in the nation among all returning signal callers. He was even one of the favorites to win the Heisman.
