Cade Klubnik, Clemson

Cade Klubnik didn’t even start the ACC championship game against North Carolina but completed 20-of-24 passes for 275 yards and also ran for 30 yards. He accounted for two touchdowns and did enough to finally be named the starter.

Clemson won the ACC championship with its five-star freshman and now he will take on the role full-time in 2023.

The running game should be really good and the passing weapons are going to be stellar. Dabo Swinney isn’t afraid to open up with the offense with an outstanding quarterback and Klubnik should prove to be a big upgrade.

This season, in limited snaps, he completed 67 percent of his passes and averaged eight yards per pass. He also has the ability to run and the Tigers are going to be formidable next season, which is another reason why he’s a name to watch in the 2023 Heisman Trophy race.
