The Clemson Tigers finished the 2024 college football season with a 10-4 record, suffering a brutal loss to the Texas Longhorns in the College Football Playoff.
Soon after losing to the Longhorns 38-24 in the first round of the College Football Playoff, Clemson starting quarterback Cade Klubnik took to social media to reveal his plans for his future in college football.
Klubnik announced he would be returning to Clemson for his fourth season after serving as the team’s full-time starter in 2023 and 2024.
“The story isn’t over,” Klubnik said. “See y’all in 2025.”
