The Cade Klubnik disrespect is getting out of hand.
Recently, Pro Football Focus released their rankings for the Top 70 Power Five quarterbacks in college football. While Kubnik was no superstar in 2023, this ranking is pretty disrespectful considering the young quarterback’s talent and potential.
According to their rankings, Klubnik is the No. 45 Power Five quarterback in college football. Here’s what they had to say about Klubnik.
Klubnik will be under the microscope in year two as the Tigers’ starter. His first full season was a bit discouraging. He made some nice throws last season, especially in the intermediate range, but he also made at least one turnover-worthy play in all but one of his starts. As a result, he earned at least a 70.0 overall grade in just one game. Clemson’s offense will struggle again if Klubnik doesn’t significantly improve.
I get that they have their grades, and it’s a system, but the eye test matters. As I said, he was no superstar in 2024, but seeing some of the names ahead of Klubnik in these rankings is comical.
He will be under a microscope, that much is true, but that won’t stop the young man from proving himself. Klubnik is due for a huge year two, and it will be fun to see how foolish he makes a lot of people look.
