Having top-class players is not just a need but a necessity for any team, and here comes Clemson, seen as one of the strongest contenders for the national title in 2025.
Furthermore, there’s also an assumption that quarterback Cade Klubnik will be a game-changer and a massive help for Clemson to return on its success route.
Moreover, one of the college football analysts predicted that he might be the best quarterback for this tournament and in the country going into the offseason.
Brad Crawford, at 247Sports.com, also listed the top 10 quarterbacks for 2025, and Clemson is excited to see that Klubnik is the No. 1 quarterback.

“Give Dabo Swinney and Garrett Riley credit for sticking with their quarterback,” Crawford said. “Cade Klubnik was superb during his second go-around with Riley calling the plays in 2024, throwing 17 more touchdown passes than he did the previous campaign thanks to improvements made as a passer.
“With Bryant Wesco and T.J. Moore back to headline a talented group of receivers for the Tigers, Klubnik could have his best season yet as a senior for the defending ACC champions. His performance through the air at Texas in the playoff really showed how far he’s come from the pocket.”
Cade Klubnik’s Development: How His Growth Could Lead Clemson to a National Title in 2025:
Klubnik has improved a lot in his second year with the support of offensive coordinator Garrett Riley.
But not many people know about it. His excellent playoff performance in the 2024 season was not just by chance or because of experience; it was also his second year in Riley’s training method, which taught him to be one of the best quarterbacks in the nation.
In 2023, Klubnik was said to be just an ordinary player. His skills were limited to throwing for 2,844 yards, 19 touchdowns, and nine interceptions. He completed 63.9% of his passes and ran for only 182 yards with four touchdowns.
But in 2024, his gameplay took off, and his skills were refined. He threw for 3,639 yards, 36 touchdowns, and only six interceptions.
Moreover, he also ran for 463 yards and seven touchdowns while completing 63.4% of his throws. This made it clear that Klubnik now had a much better grip on the game than ever before.
Furthermore, analysts assume that in 2025, he can easily throw for 4,000 yards, 40 touchdowns, and just five interceptions.
They also expect that he will run for 365 yards and at least five touchdowns.

And if he continues playing like this, he could be a deserving Heisman Trophy winner, and then Clemson could have one of the best offenses in college football.
But to watch this happen, we must wait until next season to see how he performs.
However, this makes one thing clear: As suggested, Klubnik will be one of the top players in the country.
Therefore, Clemson trusts him, and if they succeed, they can have a real shot at winning a national championship.
