Cade Klubnik’s name is being mentioned in the Heisman Trophy conversation, and Clemson’s star quarterback is on the rise among Heisman contenders, according to this national outlet.

Athlon Sports re-assessed the Heisman race heading into Week 9 of the season, and moved Klubnik up two spots to No. 6 in its Heisman rankings.

“Klubnik and the Tigers offense have scored at least 40 points in five of their six games since a Week 1 loss to Georgia,” Athlon’s Dan Lyons wrote. “He’s thrown at least three touchdown passes in all five of those games and has rounded into one of the most consistent passers in college football this season. Clemson’s offense is now ranked ninth in ESPN’s SP+ for the season, and the Tigers are on a collision course with Miami for the ACC championship and a likely automatic bid for the College Football Playoff.”

Another national outlet, CBS Sports, kept Klubnik at No. 4 in its latest college football quarterback power rankings this week.

“We gave Cade his flowers last week, and it was another clinical performance against Virginia,” CBS Sports’ Tom Fornelli wrote. “He finished with 337 total yards and three touchdowns, though he also had an interception. It’s easy to nitpick the schedule Clemson has faced since getting pasted by Georgia to open the season, but there’s no denying this team is playing very strong football right now, and Klubnik is at the head of the charge.”

Klubnik’s 300-yard passing game against Virginia marked his career-high third of the season and the sixth of his career. He has now recorded consecutive 300-yard passing games for the first time in his career.

The 6-foot-2, 210-pound junior became the first Clemson quarterback to throw multiple touchdown passes in six straight games since Trevor Lawrence in 2020.

Klubnik has put up stellar numbers through seven games this season, completing 66.7 percent of his passes for 1,836 yards and 20 touchdowns with just three interceptions, to go with 227 rushing yards and four more scores on the ground.
