Clemson freshman quarterback Cade Klubnik played well in the Tigers’ spring game on Saturday afternoon.
His performance was headlined by a touchdown pass to Hamp Greene in the second half. That score gave his White team a 12-7, which was enough to eventually secure the win.
Klubnik went 15-of-23 for 126 yards and 1 touchdown. He led his team to a 15-7 victory.
Klubnik is competing with incumbent D.J. Uiagalelei for the starting job. Uiagalelei also had a solid day, but led the Tigers on just one scoring drive. Uiagalelei finished the game 17-of-36 for 175 yards and 1 interception. Phil Mafah scored the Orange team’s only touchdown.
Coach Dabo Swinney was participating in the broadcast during the game and was very complimentary of Klubnik’s spring.
“Yeah, he’s gonna be a good one,” Swinney said on the broadcast. “He’s still developing physically … I think by August, he’s physically going to be in good shape.”
Swinney later praised Klubnik for his mobility outside of the pocket.
