Why is Klubnik a Heisman Candidate? Here’s One Reason

CLEMSON — There is a reason why Cade Klubnik is a Heisman Trophy candidate.

I guess I should say there are many reasons. He is pretty darn good.

However, one of the reasons he is considered one of the top quarterbacks in college football, and one of the reasons why Clemson is so highly thought of coming into the 2025 College Football season, is because of who he is throwing the ball to.

One can argue Klubnik has the best set of wide receivers in the game, as five of his top six receivers have had at least 500 yards and four touchdowns in a season, including Southeast Missouri transfer Tristan Smith.
