According to those in attendance, Clemson commit Cade Klubnik was impressive during the first day of competition at the Elite 11 Finals being held out in California.

247 Sports named Klubnik the ‘Alpha Dog’ of the group after one day of competition.

“Klubnik was easily the most consistent quarterback on Day 1. He showed great touch on his passes, ability to make all of the throws, putting heat on when needed and taking it off when the route called for it. He had impressive velocity and despite not having any real standout receivers to throw to, looked like he had no issues with timing and rhythm. In each of the drills, he showed his energy and competitiveness, not taking any reps off, looking laser-focused.” 247 Sports

SI All-American has Klubnik at third after the first day, coming in behind Alabama commit Ty Simpson and Texas commit Maalik Murphy.

“While not as physically imposing as the top two performers, the future Clemson Tiger was in the same ballpark from a consistency standpoint and most importantly — from an accuracy standpoint. At one point, Klubnik worked a handful of near-perfect throws while on the move, along the edge of the end zone. Few looked as comfortable as the Texan when asked to make plays from beyond the pocket, with anticipation and timing often on display.” SI All-American
