Quarterback Play
Will we have a Deshaun/Cole Stoudt or Trevor/Kelly Bryant situation in 2022?

We get to see a “slimmed down” DJ Uiagalelei from all accounts, but that knee presumably still has a “boo boo” as he so eloquently said last season.

In the spring, the QBs will not get touched, but we will likely see QB runs at times, and I will be watching just how DJ looks while running.

Cade Klubnik enters the fray as the highest rated QB recruit in the country from 2021 and enrolled early. There is something about Klubnik that I really like, yet not really having watched him play. He is going to get all of the comparisons and hopefully, rightfully so. As much as the coaching staff has said that the position is still up for grabs, it would go against everything Dabo has done in the past to not have DJ as the starter in the fall.

I look forward to watching Hunter Johnson as well as Billy Stiles and Hunter Helms, but Johnson was a highly recruited guy whos’ career just never took shape at either Clemson or Northwestern.
