Clemson Tigers senior quarterback Cade Klubnik—the former No. 1 dual-threat QB recruit with nearly 10,000 career passing yards and proven big-game prowess—has reportedly entered the transfer portal and committed to Kalen DeBoer’s Alabama Crimson Tide. Sources indicate the move comes as Klubnik seeks one final opportunity to chase a national championship after a strong but ringless tenure in Death Valley.
Klubnik, who recently accepted invites to the Senior Bowl and East-West Shrine Bowl while preparing for Clemson’s Pinstripe Bowl matchup against Penn State, turned down lucrative NIL offers and heavy recruitment from programs like Tennessee, Michigan, Ohio State, Texas, and LSU. Insiders say Alabama’s reloaded roster, explosive skill talent, and playoff pedigree under DeBoer made Tuscaloosa the perfect landing spot for the battle-tested signal-caller.
With elite arm talent, pocket mobility, and rushing upside that produced multiple ACC titles and deep playoff runs at Clemson, Klubnik instantly becomes the frontrunner to start for the Tide in 2026. His veteran leadership fills a major void as Alabama looks to dominate the expanded SEC and make another title push.
Roll Tide Nation is erupting in excitement—welcome to Alabama, Cade! The SEC just got a whole lot scarier. 🐘🔥 #RTR
