Klubnik’s Position in ESPN’s Latest Power 4 QB Rankings Revealed

ESPN has released its updated Power 4 quarterback rankings, placing Clemson’s Cade Klubnik at No. 28. This is a notable jump from his previous position of No. 54, which he held after the first month of the 2025 college football season.

Cade Klubnik’s Performance

Klubnik’s rise in the rankings is supported by impressive stats. He has achieved a total QBR of 67.9, along with 2,136 passing yards and 186 rushing yards, excluding yards lost to sacks. Furthermore, he has recorded a total of 17 touchdowns this season.

Season Breakdown

  • First Four Games: 1-3 Record, 44.9 Total QBR, 60.1% Completion Rate, 11.2 Yards per Completion, 2.7% Interception Rate
  • Last Four Games: 3-1 Record, 89.6 Total QBR, 77.8% Completion Rate, 12.5 Yards per Completion, 0.9% Interception Rate

Bill Connelly from ESPN noted that although Klubnik’s performance was insufficient to salvage Clemson’s season, he began to regain form in October.

Upcoming Matchup

The Tigers, who hold a 4-5 overall record and a 3-4 mark in the ACC, will face Louisville (7-2, 4-2) at the Cardinals’ L&N Stadium. This game is crucial as Clemson aims to improve its standing in the conference.

Louisville’s Miller Moss

Louisville quarterback Miller Moss finds himself ranked at No. 48. His performance has also seen a decline, dropping from a Total QBR of 72.8 in the first half of the season to 60.8 recently. His last game against Cal was particularly tough, as he struggled with an average of just 4.8 yards per dropback.

Upcoming Schedule

The kickoff for the Clemson vs. Louisville game is at 7:30 p.m. and will be aired on ESPN. After this game, Clemson will conclude its ACC schedule with a home game against Furman on November 22. The regular season will end with a crucial rivalry matchup against South Carolina in Columbia on November 29.

Ranking Overview

For comparison, South Carolina’s LaNorris Sellers is ranked No. 49, placing him just behind Moss in the Power 4 QB rankings.
