Clemson’s competitive edge is culture. Dabo Sweeney told ACC Huddle that the Tigers own the highest graduation rate, elite retention, and a locker room that chooses to stay which is why this roster returns so much proven production. Cade Klubnik has grown from 175 to 207 with fewer sacks and turnovers and better situational command which sets up a real leap in 2025. Tom Allen arrives as the right leader at the right time bringing alignment, accountability, and a louder standard on defense. LSU in Week 1 becomes a truth serum for all three stories. If Clemson plays clean, connected football, the Tigers will look like a playoff contender from the start. Follow along as we break down how culture, quarterback growth, and defensive leadership intersect.
