Clemson's DJ Uiagalelei, who had started every game for the past two seasons, lost his starting QB job Saturday night. Now, he's transferring.
Uiagalelei ranks 10th in the ACC in passing efficiency, with 22 touchdowns and seven interceptions, completing 61.8% of his passes for 2,500 yards. Through the first seven games, he had 17 touchdowns and two interceptions. Since then, he's had five TDs and five picks.
In the Tigers' 31-30 loss against rival South Carolina to finish the regular season, Uiagalelei was 8-of-29 for 99 yards. He was benched after two interceptions against Syracuse and Klubnik led the Tigers to a comeback victory. Uiagalelei had two remarkable starts as a freshman in 2020 when Trevor Lawrence was sidelined with COVID. Uiagalelei passed for 342 yards and led the Tigers to win against Boston College and their biggest comeback in Memorial Stadium history. The following week, he threw for 439 yards against Notre Dame, the most the Irish have ever allowed to an opposing quarterback.
Uiagalelei entered the 2021 season as one the favorites to win the Heisman Trophy. He started every game and helped Clemson win 10 games but threw more interceptions than touchdowns .
