Adam Randall lit up Clemson’s final fall camp scrimmage with multiple explosive runs, including a 50–60 yard burst, cementing his role as a game-changing weapon for LSU. Cade Klubnik followed suit, tossing 4 touchdowns on just 5 completions in an efficient and sharp performance that signals an offense ready to score in bunches. On defense, Jahiem Lawson’s emergence as a “1” alongside T.J. Parker and Will Heldt adds to a defensive front Dabo Swinney is comparing to past elite Clemson units. We break down what these performances mean for Week 1, how Garrett Riley can unleash this offense, and why Clemson’s defensive depth could be the X-factor against the Bayou Bengals.

The last scrimmage of fall camp is here — and Clemson has everything to play for before LSU week prep begins. In Segment 1, I break down a full SWOT analysis of the Tigers after two weeks of camp, identifying the strengths that can win an ACC title and the weaknesses and threats that could hold this team back from the Playoff. In Segment 2, we zoom in on red zone execution and why Cade Klubnik, the OL, and the WRs must turn field goals into touchdowns against one of the best red zone defenses they’ll see all year in LSU. In Segment 3, we focus on the biggest long-term question — can Clemson’s second and third defensive units hold the line when called upon? This is the last live test before the season kicks off, and depth could make or break 2025.

In today’s episode of Locked On Clemson, Morgan Thomas breaks down why Clemson’s 2025 season could hinge on one of the most overlooked positions: punter. Dabo Swinney says the Tigers need someone “consistently good, not occasionally great” in a three-way battle for the starting job, and Morgan explains why a single bad punt could decide matchups against LSU, Florida State, or Miami.
Then, we shift to defense where Wade Woodaz looks ready to become Clemson’s 2025 defensive MVP. His blend of elite production, leadership, and versatility under new DC Tom Allen could define the team’s identity.
Finally, Morgan spotlights true freshmen already forcing their way into fall camp conversations, including RB Gideon Davidson, LB C.J. Kubah-Taylor, OL Gavin Blanchard, and OT Brayden Jacobs. These newcomers aren’t just the future—they’re ready to contribute right now.
