** Clemson Primed for Dominance in 2025 With Two of College Football’s Elite Players**
The Clemson Tigers enter the 2025 season with championship expectations once again, as Dabo Swinney looks to return his program to the pinnacle of college football. Despite the seismic shifts brought by NIL and the transfer portal, one constant remains – the sky-high standards in Death Valley.
After some rollercoaster seasons, the Tigers appear poised for their strongest campaign in years. While Swinney’s leadership remains the foundation, this year’s roster boasts exceptional talent on both sides of the ball. The proof? Two Tigers landed in 247Sports’ prestigious Top 10 Players for 2025.
** Cade Klubnik (QB, No. 4 Overall)**
The junior signal-caller is primed for a record-breaking season in his third year as starter. After showing dramatic improvement in 2024 (17 more TD passes than his freshman campaign), Klubnik has developed into one of college football’s most dangerous quarterbacks. With the ACC’s deepest receiving corps at his disposal and Garrett Riley’s offensive system clicking, the clutch performer could challenge for the Heisman.
** T.J. Parker (DE, No. 9 Overall)**
The dominant edge rusher enters 2025 as the clear favorite for ACC Defensive Player of the Year. The Alabama native already holds Clemson’s single-season forced fumble record (6) and boasts eye-popping career numbers through two seasons: 32 tackles for loss, 16.5 sacks, and three fumble recoveries. His relentless motor and game-wrecking ability make him the centerpiece of Clemson’s defense.
With this dynamic duo leading the charge – plus a roster brimming with talent – Clemson appears ready to reclaim its place among college football’s elite. The Tigers’ championship aspirations have never looked more realistic.
** Can Klubnik and Parker deliver Clemson’s first national title since 2018? The college football world will be watching.**
