Vizzina no. 52? Why ESPN is ghosting Clemson’s new QB1

The pole position may be a lonely destination for Christopher Vizzina this spring... And while Dabo Swinney is already promoting his redshirt junior as the heir apparent to Cade Klubnik, national math says something much bleaker.

ESPN analytics guru, Bill Connelly, recently released his pre-spring QB standings for all 68 Power Four teams, and let’s face it: He didn’t exactly leave a seat at the head table for the Tigers. Vizzina landed at No. 52. For those at home, that places Clemson’s signal-caller in the bottom 25% of the Power Four — a jarring reality for a program that once treated the Heisman ceremony as a required field trip.
