CLEMSON – The arrival of freshman quarterback Cade Klubnik pushed starter DJ Uiagalelei to be better, and now Uiagalelei is in a great spot heading into fall camp.
In 13 games as a first-year starter during the Tigers' 2021 season, Uiagalelei went 208-of-374 passing (55.6%), with nine touchdowns and 10 interceptions. He ran 105 times for 308 yards (2.9 average) and four scores.
Quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator Brandon Streeter told the media Tuesday that Uiagalelei is finally healthy.
“He has really committed, No. 1, to getting his body in better shape and he has lost anywhere from 30 to 35 pounds,” Streeter said of Uiagalelei.
