Clemson’s five-star quarterback signee was very impressive Saturday while playing in the 2022 All-American Bowl at the Alamodome in San Antonio.
Cade Klubnik shined in the nationally televised all-star game on NBC, getting the start for Team West and throwing a touchdown pass on each of his team’s first two possessions, including a 24-yard dime to four-star wide receiver C.J. Williams on the West team’s first drive.
Klubnik later added a third touchdown pass in the third quarter when he evaded pressure in the backfield, scrambled to his right and found South Carolina wide receiver signee Landon Samson for a 5-yard score.
Klubnik was honored during the game as the All-American Bowl’s Player of the Year Award recipient.
Klubnik, a product of Westlake High School (Austin, Texas) and the nation’s top-ranked QB in the 2022 class, is set to report to Clemson on Sunday as an early enrollee.
Check out what they are saying about Klubnik’s performance Saturday in the 2022 All-American Bowl:
Looks like @Westlake_Nation grad and @ClemsonFB recruit Cade Klubnik will get the start in today's AAB. Klubnik has never lost a game as a starter in high school; no need to break that string today eh? https://t.co/3DhqeUjRE5

Cade Klubnik just threw a perfect pass in the end zone in the All-American Bowl. Feels like he's one of the most important commitments in this class with respect to where he's going and need. No reason to think he can't push for playing time at #Clemson.
