Following a strong season that saw the Tigers reclaim the ACC title, Clemson has been putting in significant effort to elevate their performance for the 2025 season.
With expectations running high, the team is poised for another big year.
After securing a spot in the College Football Playoff last season, Clemson will bring back most of its starters on both offense and defense.Clemson’s offense promises to be exciting next season.
Quarterback Cade Klubnik is expected to be in the Heisman conversation from the start, and he’ll have the advantage of three talented returning receivers.
Additionally, with four starters returning on the offensive line, the unit will benefit from continuity, which will be crucial for the team’s success.
On the defensive side, the Tigers experienced a significant change. Tom Allen, formerly with the Penn State Nittany Lions, has been brought in as the new defensive coordinator.
Recognized as one of the best in the country, Allen aims to strengthen a unit that fell short of expectations in 2024.
In a rare move for Clemson, the team turned to the transfer portal this offseason, landing edge rusher Will Heldt from Purdue to bolster their defense.
