During the CFP era, only 8 quarterbacks have had a season in which they accounted for 4,100+ total yards, 43+ total TDs, and 7 or fewer turnovers.

5 of them won the Heisman.
2 more were Heisman finalists.
The other was 2024 Cade Klubnik.

#Clemson QB Cade Klubnik (6-2, 210)

Routinely plays from a balanced base/platform. Can see, read, and react with repeatable mechanics. Good enough athlete to break contain and create outside of structure.

In the "too early" conversation for the first overall pick next year. His WR room might be the best in the country outside of Ohio St.

Cade Klubnik’s NFL QB comparisons, outlook​

Klubnik threw for 3,639 yards and 36 touchdowns against six interceptions in 2024 and also ran for 463 yards and seven scores. His 4,102 yards of total offense ranked No. 4 nationally, and his 36 passing TDs were tied for the second most in a single season in Clemson history. His turnover count dropped significantly.

Entering his senior season, Klubnik has the third-best betting odds to win the 2025 Heisman Trophy behind Texas QB Arch Manning and LSU QB Garrett Nussmeier.

And his NFL Draft profile has only grown. Reid’s ESPN colleague Matt Miller also projected Klubnik as the No. 1 pick of the 2026 NFL Draft to the Browns in June.

Klubnik has been compared to pro quarterbacks including Bo Nix (Broncos), Baker Mayfield (Buccaneers) and Ryan Tannehill (formerly Dolphins/Titans) because of his mobility.

Was asked recently why I’m so high on Cade Klubnik.

He was phenomenal throughout 2024, but this playoff game against Texas was the icing on the cake.

Carved up the best secondary in America on the road in the biggest game of the season.

QB1.

Cade Klubnik is one of the more polarizing prospects this year among NFL scouts. Some think he can go in the 1st, others see a day 3 prospect.

A lot of NFL eyes watching both Nussmeier and Klubnik tonight.
