As Clemson begins its quest for a return to the College Football Playoff, Cade Klubnik is leading the way.
Klubnik made some calls and was told his best bet would be to commit to Texas. He could always change his mind later. But his high school coach put a different spin on the situation.
beamed from the dais inside Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina. It was Dec. 3, and the Tigers had just won the 2022 ACC championship. Klubnik was nearly perfect, completing 20 of 24 passes for 279 yards and accounting for two touchdowns.Missing from the conversation, however, was much discussion of the recent past.
In Clemson's opener, an easy win over Georgia Tech, Klubnik came on in garbage time and looked brilliant. Calls for a quarterback change began immediately, but Swinney emphatically backed his starter. By this point, a hefty contingent of Clemson fans were outraged that the blue-chip freshman hadn't taken over as QB1, but inside the locker room, the tenor was different.
When Klubnik was in third grade, he'd met Nick Foles, a former Westlake quarterback. Kim Klubnik heard Foles would be attending a workout session in Austin, so she pulled Cade from school so her son could meet him. Years later, when Cade found himself involved in a three-way quarterback battle entering his sophomore year at Westlake, he emailed Foles for a little advice.
That's where Klubnik's love for the game begins, his father said. It's not that he didn't want the starting job. It's just that he didn't mind biding his time because, for Klubnik, the time was still well spent. "I had so much trust in the coaches," he said."I came to Clemson for Coach Swinney and that staff to be a part of this culture, and with that is just trusting the coaches -- whatever plan they had."IT WAS KLUBNIK'SHis first start for the Tigers came in last season's Orange Bowl. It went poorly. He threw for 320 yards, but Clemson's offense repeatedly bogged down in the red zone, Klubnik threw two picks and he was sacked four times.
