Clemson QB Cade Klubnik’s Status vs. SMU Uncertain After Ankle Sprain

Reports of doubt contrast with Dabo Swinney’s guarded optimism over the limited quarterback.

Overview

  • Klubnik sprained his ankle late in the third quarter of Clemson’s 41-10 win at Boston College and did not return.
  • Dabo Swinney says Klubnik has been limited in practice and is improving hour to hour as the staff manages his workload.
  • On3 reports significant internal concern about his availability and says a game-time decision is possible.
  • Clemson has prepared Christopher Vizzina to start if needed with Trent Pearman also ready, though Vizzina has had limited live-game reps.
  • The ACC availability report is due Thursday night, with betting lines tightening ahead of Saturday’s 3:30 p.m. ET kickoff against SMU.
