Entering the 2025 season as one of the top teams in the country, Clemson football has some hype it has to live up to. The Tigers have one of the most loaded rosters in the nation and Dabo Swinney seemingly found his mojo again.
Clemson is fresh off its first playoff appearance since Trevor Lawrence was still in town and it has arguably the best quarterback in the country once again.
Not only is Cade Klubnik considered the best returning quarterback in the country, but he also has one of the best receiving corps at his disposal and a former 6-foot-8, 240-pound college basketball star playing tight end. He has plenty of weapons at his disposal.
Some might argue that Clemson has the best receiving corps in the country heading into the 2025 season, but Ohio State probably takes that distinction.
Pro Football Focus actually ranked the top five receiving corps heading into the season and Clemson was No. 3 behind both Ohio State and Auburn. Tough to argue, but I'd say Clemson is No. 2.
Jeremiah Smith is the best receiver in the country and Brian Hartline is one of the best wide receiver coaches in the game so that one is almost impossible to debate, but Auburn and Clemson could be switched and you wouldn't hear many arguments.
The Tigers field one of the best receivers in the country who doesn't get nearly the amount of love he should in Antonio Williams. Along with him, Clemson also has TJ Moore, Bryant Wesco Jr., Tristan Smith, and Tyler Brown who could all be legitimate WR1s on a lot of teams. The breakout of Smith this spring just raised the ceiling of this group.
Anyone else need the season to start as soon as possible?
