Clemson quarterback Cade Klubnik has officially announced his return for his senior season, a move that sets the stage for an even more explosive passing offense in 2025. His decision provides a major boost to a Tigers team eager to build on the momentum of their College Football Playoff appearance this year.
Klubnik was a key factor in Clemson’s resurgence during the 2024 season. His ability to command the offense, make precise throws, and deliver in big moments turned heads throughout the college football world. With his experience and leadership, he became the centerpiece of a unit that averaged over 35 points per game.
A big part of that success came from his connection with Clemson’s talented group of receivers. Antonio Williams and Bryant Wesco Jr. consistently stepped up, creating one of the most potent passing attacks in the ACC. Klubnik’s standout performance in the ACC Championship, where he threw for 262 yards and four touchdowns, highlighted just how dangerous this offense can be when everything is clicking.
With Offensive Coordinator Garrett Riley calling the plays, Klubnik’s return offers even more promise. Having another offseason to sharpen their approach and refine the playbook could push the Tigers’ passing game to new heights. The chemistry between Klubnik and his receivers, already strong, has the potential to develop into one of the most feared aerial attacks in the country.
For Clemson fans, Klubnik’s decision to stay signals that 2025 could be a special season. With his leadership and a deep, talented roster around him, the Tigers’ passing offense looks primed to deliver one of its best performances in program history.
Moves still need to be made, but the Tigers are trending in a better direction than some believe.
