done deal clemson tigers football have acepted a contract with the buffalo bills
The Tigers return a more experienced group with playmakers at skill positions and another year in offensive coordinator Garrett Riley’s system.
“Our goal is to go undefeated, and I fully believe that this is the team that can do it,” Klubnik said. “I think we’ve got every single piece that we need to be able to do that.”
Here are three things Klubnik said Monday that stood out during his media availability.
The Tigers lacked big plays last year, averaging 4.9 yards per play. That was tied for 97th in FBS.
Clemson battled injuries at wide receiver last year with Troy Stellato, Beaux Collins and Antonio Williams going down. Entering spring practice, Tyler Brown is recovering from off-season foot surgery, and Noble Johnson is out due to an injury suffered in a car accident.
“It’s nobody’s fault. It’s just kind of the way the cards are dealt sometimes,” Klubnik said. “Just having everybody is going to be really good for us.”
A quarterback needs a rapport with his players, and Klubnik has been building it with the available wideouts. Stellato and Williams are practicing, and freshman wideout Bryant Wesco Jr. has received high praise from teammates. T.J. Moore will enroll in the summer, and both freshmen can provide a boost for Clemson.
Add in tight end Jake Briningstool and running back Phil Mafah, Klubnik is relishing the connections he is establishing with the talented group.
