On3 DB / Cade Klubnik

As a College Recruit

Accurate, efficient and athletic signal caller who is proven at the highest levels of Texas high school football. Operates at a high efficiency, with strong decision-making and accuracy. Has completed nearly 70% of his career passes at over 10 yards per attempt. Not an elite arm talent, but generates force with his core and hip torque, pointing to some room for improvement in that respect. Has twitchy lower body movements with his footwork. Able to extend plays and create as a scrambler. Has a long stride in the open field and ran for 15 touchdowns as a junior. Leads one of the nation’s top-ranked high school programs and is undefeated as a starter well into his senior season. Plays in a favorable situation in high school for a top coaching staff and behind an offensive line full of Power 5 prospects. A high energy, active, vocal quarterback who has drawn strong reviews as a leader. Was named MVP of the Elite11 Finals prior to his senior season.

We see many similarities in Cade Klubnik in Teddy Bridgewater - both have similar size and athleticism at the same stage. The playing styles also bear resemblance. Like Bridgewater, Klubnik is a heady, accurate passer who excels when operating within an offense's structure. Both also played at two top high school programs.

Cade Klubnik a top performer at All-American Bowl

Charles Power

Cade Klubnik received the most in-game reps of all quarterbacks and took advantage of the opportunity. The Clemson signee didn’t have trouble adjusting to the increased speed of live game action. That shouldn’t come as a surprise given his experience playing top competition in the state of Texas. Klubnik showed off his mobility and accuracy, hitting a few nice passes while moving to his right. While he doesn’t have the natural arm talent of Allar or Brown and entered the game running third in our quarterback pecking order, Klubnik was on the same page with his receivers and had by far the most productive game of the bunch.

Cade Klubnik leads team to blowout win over rival

Charles Power

Cade Klubnik lead his Austin Westlake team to a 63-21 win over rival Lake Travis in his first game back after missing three weeks with a shoulder injury. Klubnik was efficient in leading the potent Westlake offense on quick scoring drives. The 6-foot-3, 186-pounder showed his long-striding rushing ability on a zone read keeper that went for a 22-yard touchdown on the first drive. He wasn’t shy as a runner and didn’t appear to be favoring his shoulder after the injury. Klubnik hit a deep ball to 2023 On300 receiver Jaden Greathouse for the second score. He finished 11 for 15 for 219 yards and three touchdowns and rushed for 31 yards and two more scores on six attempts.
