Vizzina ‘Blossoming’ in Spring Practice
Going into spring practice, Dabo Swinney was hoping that redshirt freshman Christopher Vizzina would show continued growth this spring as he got more reps behind starting quarterback Cade Klubnik.
Ten practices in, Clemson’s head coach loves what he’s seen from the Tigers’ backup quarterback in that regard.
“To see where he is, that’s probably been the biggest plus for us this spring is seeing him and seeing his confidence, seeing his grasp, his understanding,” Swinney said of Vizzina following Wednesday’s scrimmage.
“All of us expected to see what we’re seeing out of Cade. We weren’t sure with CV (Vizzina). Through 10 practices, he’s given all of us a little bit of a ‘take a deep breath.’ I feel good about this kid, man. He looks like the guy that we thought he would be when we recruited him. So, I’m happy for him, excited for him.”
At the outset of spring practice, Swinney said it was Vizzina’s job to prove to the Tigers by the end of spring ball that he can not only compete with Klubnik, but also win games for Clemson if his number is called upon.
Based on what Swinney has seen from Vizzina so far this spring, Swinney feels the Tigers can win with Vizzina at QB if needed.
