"I did not see that coming": CFB fans in splits over Cade Klubnik's wild QB mimicry during collab with YouTuber

Cade Klubnik left fans in splits with his comedy skit. The quarterback is gearing up for his fourth year with the Clemson Tigers. On Friday, a video of Klubnik with YouTuber and influencer Shayne Boyle went viral.

In the video, we see Cade Klubnik being taught how to properly play quarterback by Boyle. Boyle interrupts the Clemson quarterback before he takes a snap and offers to show how it's done. He does a pre-snap cadence before being tackled to the ground even before making a pass.

Cade Klubnik then takes center stage and starts to copy Shane Boyle. The clip ends with him hilariously hitting the influencer in the groin area with the ball.

Fans reacted to this comedy skit by the Clemson quarterback.

"That ending! I did not see that coming," one fan commented.

"Bro straight cooked him," another fan said.

"Did you nail it on the first take is the question," this fan wrote.

"What a f**king rocket to the gut at the end, lmao!!" another fan said.

"That last part does not look planned at all but the fact that it might be and that wasn't the first take is even better," this fan said.

"I was thinking '... ahhh this is a funny yet wholesome shane vide...oh... there's the mcnugget shot'" one fan commented.

During his freshman campaign, Cade Klubnik served as the backup to DJ Uiagalelei. He saw playing time in 10 games and recorded 697 yards and two TDs passing. Klubnik took over as the starting quarterback ahead of the 2023 season.

In two years as a starter, the quarterback has 6,483 yards and 55 TDs passing. Last season, he helped the Clemson Tigers to a 10-4 record and an ACC title. The Tigers qualified for the 12-team playoffs but were eliminated by Texas in the first round.

CFB analyst highlights one major weakness in Cade Klubnik's game

Klubnik will be looking to help the Tigers to another playoff appearance during his senior year. However, CFB analyst Trevor Sikkema talked about one major flaw in the quarterback's game.

Last Wednesday, Sikemma highlighted a few areas that Klubnik needs to focus on if he wants success this upcoming season.

"At 6-foot-2 and 205 pounds, he would rank in the 32nd and 7th percentiles, respectively," Sikkema wrote in an article for PFF. "Height appears to be an issue for him, as he sometimes throws on his toes to see over the line of scrimmage and aid the ball's flight path. That causes inconsistencies with accuracy."

"Cleaning up his fundamentals to make sure he is getting the most out of his arm strength in all situations would round out an otherwise very impressive initial scouting report."

The Tigers begin their 2025 season with a showdown against LSU in August. Only time will tell if Klubnik manages to help his team compete for a spot in the playoffs.
