CLEMSON – Some players like to compare their first days of college football practice to a whirlwind, but freshman quarterback Cade Klubnik says his first foray into college athletics was more like a tornado. A tornado that formed every day.
Klubnik is the freshman out of Austin (TX) Westlake who enrolled in Clemson in January with an impressive high school resume. He was ranked as the top quarterback in the nation by Sports Illustrated, PrepStar, and Rivals.com, and ranked as second-best quarterback by 247Sports and third by ESPN.com. He was the Gatorade Player of the Year in Texas and was named as one of three finalists for National Gatorade Player of the Year for 2021.
