1. D.J. Uiagalelei

It should come as no surprise that freshman QB D.J. Uiagalelei is the top name on this list.

Uiagalelei had quite the impressive performance this past weekend against Boston College, throwing for more than 300 yards and accounting for three touchdowns.

He’s going to be asked to make some of the same plays- and perhaps even more- against the Fighting Irish this coming Saturday.

Uiagalelei has the talent to lead the Tigers past the Fighting Irish this weekend, but it will all start with a good week of preparation and him remaining confident and poised no matter what kind of adversity comes arises.

dark. Next. 5 Tigers who grew up vs. Boston College

Clemson and Notre Dame will kickoff at 7:30 p.m. E.T. live on NBC this Saturday in South Bend.
