Clemson Tigers quarterback Cade Klubnik has firmly positioned himself at the forefront of the 2025 college football narrative.
On June 30, after a refined spring under his belt, Klubnik confidently announced, “I’m still hungry for what I know this program has… I came to Clemson to win a national championship.”
Texas Longhorns’ Quinn Ewers faced Clemson quarterback Cade Klubnik in a state championship shootout and lost
That single declaration from Klubnik not only reflects his unwavering ambition but also comes amid a flurry of attention from media and NFL scouts, revitalizing his draft stock going into senior year.
Head coach Dabo Swinney’s endorsement of Klubnik speaks volumes. “He wasn’t terrible…I’ve seen a really good spring,” Swinney noted, stressing that Klubnik has sharpened his consistency since the season’s first scrimmage.
This praise underscores Klubinik’s recent efforts – training in California with elite quarterback coach Jordan Palmer, whose stellar resume includes working with Joe Burrow, Josh Allen, and Patrick Mahomes.
NFL buzz grows louder
The confidence in Klubinik’s talent isn’t just internal. College football insider CJ Vogel recently tweeted, “Spent a lot of time around quarterbacks this weekend… I’m firmly of the belief that Cade Klubnik is the best quarterback in the country entering the season.”
That assessment comes after last season’s impressive numbers – 3,639 passing yards, 36 touchdowns, and just six interceptions – alongside dual-threat capabilities.
ESPN’s Rece Davis ranks him No. 3 nationally but expects him to push the ball further downfield this year, thanks to additions like receivers Antonio Williams and Bryant Wesco.
Meanwhile, mock drafts and analysts are increasingly viewing him as a first-round-even No. 1 overall-NFL pick in 2026. ESPN’s Matt Miller and Jordan Reid predict he could be the Browns’ long-term future, noting his arm talent, mobility, and football IQ.
Scouting services paint a compelling portrait of Klubnik’s skill set: a mobile pocket passer with top-tier mechanics, pocket poise, playmaking ability, and leadership-traits aligned with NFL readiness. But they also flag areas he must polish: decision-making under pressure, anticipation timing, and ball placement consistency.
Football Scout 365 describes him as “one of the hottest quarterback prospects in the country,” praising his pocket navigation, quick release, and off-script creativity. Still, he needs to fine-tune his anticipation and lessen forced throws to elevate his projection from Day 2 to Day 1 pick.
Vision for a Clemson return
Klubnik’s drive to bring a national championship back to Clemson – since their last title in 2018 – is clear. “The story isn’t over,” he declared when he turned down the 2025 NFL draft. His past performances – like a dominant ACC Championship win and standout efforts versus Texas-prove he thrives under pressure and is capable of leading Clemson to glory.
With Clemson’s revamped roster and dominant defense (anchored by T.J. Parker and Peter Woods), Swinney plans to craft an offense that plays to Klubinik’s strengths: aggressive downfield passing, pocket leadership, and dynamic mobility.
Cade Klubnik enters the 2025 season with intent, focus, and momentum. Guided by Dabo Swinney’s confidence, sharpened by elite offseason training, and buoyed by national media acclaim and NFL draft projections, he is well-positioned to chase a national title and cement his status as a top NFL prospect.
His challenge: marrying his playmaking gifts with disciplined decision-making. If he does, both his Clemson legacy and professional trajectory could reach historic heights.

Raducanu retires from Wuhan Open first round
Emma Raducanu retired from her first-round match at the Wuhan Open against Ann Li as she appeared to struggle with the humid conditions.Raducanu was 6-1 4-1 down to Li when she decided to retire after a medical timeout, having looked almost dizzy at points in the second set.

But Chourio’s home run on Monday in Game 2 was not only a dagger in the Cubs’ 7-3 loss to Milwaukee.

Brasileirão: abrir placar se mostra fator decisivo em reta final marcada por desgaste físico e mental
A reta final do Brasileirão trará para os três postulantes ao título alguns desafios não apenas de ordem técnica, mas principalmente física e mental. A pausa para a data Fifa veio em boa hora, já que Palmeiras, Flamengo e Cruzeiro sofreram em doses distintas na intensa maratona das últimas rodadas, experimentando uma diferença de desempenho, em especial nos confrontos mais pesados. Saiu-se melhor o alviverde, novo líder da competição após uma semana de resultados melhores.

Como Bap e Landim levaram o Flamengo a ensaiar uma Liga que ganha força na união contra o clube
Então presidente do Flamengo, Rodolfo Landim ainda tinha Luiz Eduardo Baptista como aliado e vice-presidente de relações externas quando a diretoria rubro-negra tentou liderar o processo de implementação de uma liga no Brasil. O cenário era de domínio político da CBF e enfraquecimento progressivo dos clubes, quando os dirigentes rumaram para a sede da entidade, em 2021, e entregaram um documento para cobrar mais autonomia e melhorar o produto, a partir da aprovação da nova Lei do Mandante no mesmo ano. O grupo político rubro-negro ainda unido chegara a um consenso, com Bap e Landim juntos, de que com a nova lei e a liga o clube ganharia mais em valores absolutos, justamente pela maior arrecadação de equipes de menor expressão e torcida. Antes, a lei dava ao Flamengo o controle de 38 jogos do Brasileiro. Agora, um novo contrato […]
‘Draper must have big ego in order to compete with Alcaraz and Sinner’
Jack Draper needs a "big ego" in order to compete with Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, says Serena Williams' former coach Patrick Mouratoglou.Draper initially called time on his season as he nurses an arm injury, but the British No 1 is now set to make a comeback before the year's end after agreeing to participate in the UTS Grand Final in December. The unique event, which ditches traditional tennis rules, is the brainchild of legendary Frenchman Mouratoglou, who has coached the likes of Laura Robson, Grigor Dimitrov and more recently Naomi Osaka.

Universal Story and Tamaris chase hat-trick bids
We have a busy day’s racing on Tuesday with flat action from Brighton and Southwell, live on Sky Sports Racing...7.30 Southwell - Universal Story and Tamaris look to complete hat-tricksUniversal Story and Tamaris both look to complete their hat-tricks in the attheraces.com/marketmovers Handicap. Jennie Candlish's filly Universal Story is up six-pounds for her previous two wins at Newcastle and round here eight days ago, latterly looking a much improved model, winning eased down at the line suggesting there's still more to come.Tamaris hasn't been seen since impressing at Wolverhampton last April and clearly has had his issues but this prolific gelding knows how to win. It will be some feat if he's able to overcome this absence but shouldn't be ignored for the in-form James Owen team.Alfie D rates best of the remainder. 4.45 Brighton - Dinah Myte bids to […]
