What do yall think the market is for ole DJ after this year? I didnt get a chance to watch him a ton, but he was pretty dreadful in the couple games I did watch.
I’ve convinced myself that it was a scheme problem, here. It seemed like once the switch to Cade happened, we opened up the playbook for the first time all season. Maybe not the best offense for what we like to do but could be great with the right scheme. That’s my speculation anyway
He needs someplace with a stronger Oline, I think. Give him protection and he can throw dimes all day. A weak line that lets a defense pressure him is deadly.
If DJ goes to Oregon, I can see his brother following, but that's about it, USC and Ohio State, the two other big contenders, have qbs set up (Caleb Williams is back, at OSU two top 40 qbs who have been learning for 1-2 years).
I don't even think the similar is that similar to Jalen Hurts, considering Jalen was a stud at Bama (26-2 record), but got jumped on the depth chart by a guy who was even more of a stud. DJ was never really that good at Clemson.
Shit we’ll take him. Don’t think it will affect Chiles commitment at all and we don’t even need him to be good because we’ll just stop throwing it if he sucks.
I think Oregon State would be the best place for him. Solid team. Good offensive scheme for a slinger like DJ. He would likely be the favorite for QB1. Great place to showcase his skills against other big teams.
I have to agree with you on this one. Dj will be a project. A team would have to be willing to invest a massive amount of time and resources in dj. I'm sure many coaching staffs will be hesitant to make an offer based on the lack of progress clemson has been able to make with him.
I’ll never forget this guy saving our 2020 season when we were down bad against BC and almost pulled it out against ND the following week. A 21-6 record at Clemson as a starter. Not horrible by any means but he clearly wasn’t the guy we need to win national championships. I wish him the very best of luck wherever he goes.
I hope it works out for him. I want to see any kid that came to Clemson for 1 day, 1 year, or 6 years to succeed in life. Generally it looks better on us if they go other places and make an impact.
Cam seems like a player who would really benefit from another year of college. Considering how many players Utah is returning they could well be a playoff team next year and with only a little statistical improvement Rising could shoot way up draft boards. Reminds me a bit of the situation Aidan Hutchinson was in when he returned for his senior year (Hutchinson was rated as a late second round pick before going #2 the following year)
One of the great mysteries of College football for me. How can a guy go from top 5* recruit, show so much promise initially and then have the awful games that he had. I know. I know. Sometimes it gets too big for a kid. But they claimed his practices were great. Really sad actually. Did something happen in his personal life? Wish him the best.
He still has a lot of potential as a player but just didn’t quite fit right in our system. Hard to change a PP into a dual threat who isn’t a natural runner. Hopefully wherever he lands he’ll be able to succeed. A new environment and headspace should help him a lot.
DJ transfers to Oregon to fill the Bo Nix vacancy and be closer to home. Oregon becomes rehabQBU. DJ will improve so much under a new offense. He will be focused. He will be having fun. I wouldn't be surprised if he becomes a dark horse for the Heisman.
FWIW, Kentucky insiders were saying he was gonna transfer way back in like week 5 or 6 of the season and that depending on who we bring in as OC, is a legit possibility we bring in.
Talented player, but badly in need of a coach who can fix his mechanics. And also he needs to calm the fuck down. Once things stated going wrong they snowballed to hell.
Good luck Tiger brother. Kick ass and follow your dreams. Thanks for all the hard work and time you've given Clemson. You got your degree, always stayed humble and classy despite the criticism and drama. Respect the hell out of you kid.
I wish him the best wherever he lands. That said, if he is successful somewhere else, I'd be curious to find out what the change was that allowed him to be so.
Good luck DJ! Thank you for everything you did for Clemson. 2 10 win seasons is nothing to sneeze at. Hopefully that next school has a offense that your talent fits better with.
Someone in another thread brought up what might have been for DJ if he didn't throw the pick six against UGA in that season opener last year, which probably made him scared of the big mistake.
Sometimes it just doesn’t work out no matter how hard you tried or how talented you are. DJ has the talent, but just looks rattled every time he makes a mistake. I hope he gets help, and hopefully balls out somewhere else.
Came here to read comments becuase I heard a rumor UK might be a destination. Little did I know: every college fan in America outside of Clemson has heard the same rumor.
Based on rumors and knowns. My bet is probably 70% usc 20% Ohio state and 10% others. It’s thought him and matayo will end up at the same school and matayo wants to pursue music and you can’t really do better than LA.
I hope he goes elsewhere. I'd rather just roll with McCord, who will have a couple years in the system, and who played with Marvin Harrison Jr. in high school, where they won a state championship together. Might be some rust there, but there could be some foundational chemistry to build off of.
Going to give my actual opinions instead of the love speeches a lot of Clemson fans are putting out: Worst Clemson QB in a decade. Not even sad to lose him as a backup. Wish this transfer happened after the Syracuse game like it should have.
Dude got broken mentally. He went from “is he better than Trevor” “hi DJ, we are Dr Pepper and want to pay you millions” “heisman favorite” to just being broken on the system with Dabo. I blame coaching.
Sad the circumstances ended up this way. He seems like a genuinely good guy, and he does have talent. Just didn’t fit with all the other pieces we had. It didn’t help he only seemed to have chemistry with one receiver (Collins) who was out for some big games this season.
I really hope DJ is able to have success wherever he ends up. He did everything right while he was here and showed flashes of his talent, but for whatever reason wasn't able to put it together for a full season. A team with a better O line and more imaginative offensive coaches would probably be great for him
He's probably trying to start somewhere. Coach Prime didn't bring his son to Colorado, and basically announce he's their new QB, all for him to sit on the bench.
Perhaps this is in the realm of “fat chance” but if he wants to come back to California what about Fresno State? I think Coach Teddy would prepare him nicely for the NFL
I wonder if the school his little brother goes to will effect him at any point. I know the younger Ukalele was looking hard at Ohio State, and DJ ain't going to Ohio State, but maybe that changes things for both.
Ya know is there like a template online for transfer announcements. They all are the same shit with some saying shit like “I’ll always be a skin flute player, go skin!”
Chip Kelly about to make this man a Heisman QB ain’t he.
Your lips to DJ’s ears
I don’t think Chip likes statues for QBs.
Nope, not coming here
I hope so!
He didn’t do it with DTR.
With a change of scenery and a new place will hopefully allow DJ to play at the highest level we all know he is capable of.
I watched him for two years in high school. No way should he have ever have been a five star.
I think most Clemson fans will be really pulling for him
I will be, I really liked him. It's too bad he didn't work for Clemson.
Bro he seemed like a great dude, just did not look good out there running the offense this year.
I hope so, a lot of fans were getting really nasty towards DJ towards the end
I hope so because the venom I read on Twitter was disgusting. He's a kid. People need to chill the fuck out.
[удалено]
I will not, I have been saying all season I’d kill someone to get Kelly Bryant back.
Think he can do well in the right system. Good luck!
He'll do well if he stays out of his own head.
LUL OMG Bama AND Clemson fan? Bandwagon much?
If he would have played that bad under Saban you better believe he wouldn’t have gotten more than two games.
We don’t even have an OC, so that could be the right system…trade?
What is this flair ….
How about something run up the middle heavy?
Guy needs to go somewhere with less pressure to perform like aTm
Wow, that's hateful. He's a good kid. Don't wish that evil on him.
You mean the team that used 20 different qbs this season? I hope he doesn’t go there.
or mizzou lol.
Glass houses homie
☝🏼 he's right you know
If he wants less pressure come to Wisconsin where just not being a dumpster fire of a QB is considered a success 😂
What do yall think the market is for ole DJ after this year? I didnt get a chance to watch him a ton, but he was pretty dreadful in the couple games I did watch.
UCLA makes a ton of sense
He is good but not elite. He can start for many non championship contending teams.
I’ve convinced myself that it was a scheme problem, here. It seemed like once the switch to Cade happened, we opened up the playbook for the first time all season. Maybe not the best offense for what we like to do but could be great with the right scheme. That’s my speculation anyway
It seems a lot of fans think he wasjust as bad this year as he was last year- that's not the case. He improved by quite a bit.
He needs someplace with a stronger Oline, I think. Give him protection and he can throw dimes all day. A weak line that lets a defense pressure him is deadly.
As a recruit:
What’s more USA than ASU?
hope he can find somewhere where they can tailor their offense to him and develop up his mental side so he can shine
DJ with Chip Kelly could do something
My blind as fuck bet is on liberty
I'd be shocked if he isn't planning on going back home to Cali, or maybe Oregon or another PAC school.
Random but I'm down
That would be top-shelf disappointing
FWIW
If DJ goes to Oregon, I can see his brother following, but that's about it, USC and Ohio State, the two other big contenders, have qbs set up (Caleb Williams is back, at OSU two top 40 qbs who have been learning for 1-2 years).
Please go be amazing somewhere (as long as it’s not in the ACC). It would make my day. Best of luck DJ.
My money is on Oregon. He can refocus and have fun while building the much needed confidence. Worked pretty well for Bo Nix.
Tennessee? Or is there a clear successor to Hooker?
Joe Milton is the current guy but he struggles with accuracy a bit
If anyone is going to bring out the best in a struggling QB it’s Heupel.
Interesting idea...I think he could do well there.
I think this is like Jalen Hurts 2.0. Most of the Clemson fans will be rooting for him, and if in the right spot, he’ll do pretty well.
I don't even think the similar is that similar to Jalen Hurts, considering Jalen was a stud at Bama (26-2 record), but got jumped on the depth chart by a guy who was even more of a stud. DJ was never really that good at Clemson.
Oregon?
I think Oregon or UCLA
Not sure. Rumors are Bo is leaning towards staying one more year. If he stays, I’m not sure DJ wants to be a backup.
Depends on if Nix is coming back. Can't imagine DJU would transfer to a school just sit for a year.
Oregon State would be better. Not biased or anything. We’ve proven we are just a quarterback away.
Shit we’ll take him. Don’t think it will affect Chiles commitment at all and we don’t even need him to be good because we’ll just stop throwing it if he sucks.
I think Oregon State would be the best place for him. Solid team. Good offensive scheme for a slinger like DJ. He would likely be the favorite for QB1. Great place to showcase his skills against other big teams.
So does he end up at UCLA or Oregon?
With Anthony Richardson declaring for the draft, UF might be a suitable landing spot
UF could certainly use him …
Scrolled too far to find this comment. Amen.
I wish him nothing but the best, but man, he needs A LOT of work.
But we all know it's in there. Look at Notre Dame 2020. More passing yards than any other QB at South Bend.
I have to agree with you on this one. Dj will be a project. A team would have to be willing to invest a massive amount of time and resources in dj. I'm sure many coaching staffs will be hesitant to make an offer based on the lack of progress clemson has been able to make with him.
I wouldn't mind the competition
I welcome any and all P5 QBs outside of the state of Iowa to come to OU. We desperately need a mentor for Arnold
Cade looked nasty, this was his only option
hey
Sorry, y’all have to compete with Duke/App State, Northwestern, Last Chance U, and Jacksonville State for our transfer quarterbacks
Kelly Bryant pt. 2
I’ll never forget this guy saving our 2020 season when we were down bad against BC and almost pulled it out against ND the following week. A 21-6 record at Clemson as a starter. Not horrible by any means but he clearly wasn’t the guy we need to win national championships. I wish him the very best of luck wherever he goes.
I hope it works out for him. I want to see any kid that came to Clemson for 1 day, 1 year, or 6 years to succeed in life. Generally it looks better on us if they go other places and make an impact.
This is the sappiest lil ol clempson jargon I’ve ever heard. “Gods country” in bumfuck Pickens sc. gimme a break 😂
Except Watson!
Well at least there’s a chance I can still support him next year. For better or worse. Thank you DJ, and welcome DJ (maybe).
Utah might be a good place if Rising leaves
Cam seems like a player who would really benefit from another year of college. Considering how many players Utah is returning they could well be a playoff team next year and with only a little statistical improvement Rising could shoot way up draft boards. Reminds me a bit of the situation Aidan Hutchinson was in when he returned for his senior year (Hutchinson was rated as a late second round pick before going #2 the following year)

Sometimes it gets too big for a kid. But they claimed his practices were great. Really sad actually. Did something happen in his personal life? Wish him the best.
Parents went through a divorce after his freshman year
There’s a difference between recruiting and developing talent.
He still has a lot of potential as a player but just didn’t quite fit right in our system. Hard to change a PP into a dual threat who isn’t a natural runner. Hopefully wherever he lands he’ll be able to succeed. A new environment and headspace should help him a lot.
DJ transfers to Oregon to fill the Bo Nix vacancy and be closer to home. Oregon becomes rehabQBU. DJ will improve so much under a new offense. He will be focused. He will be having fun. I wouldn't be surprised if he becomes a dark horse for the Heisman.
Killing me with the rehabQBU
The end of an era here
This meme needs to die. Wow
FWIW, Kentucky insiders were saying he was gonna transfer way back in like week 5 or 6 of the season and that depending on who we bring in as OC, is a legit possibility we bring in.
I thought I remember hearing a connection with Scangerello. Hopefully UK is still an option. I'd love to watch him play.
I’ve heard from someone who is friends with a major booster that there’s a good chance DJ goes to UK.
Just throwing UCF’s hat in the ring. I know it’s a long shot. 🤪🤪
Wisconsin bound. Calling it now
Who will be QB for their bowl bowl game?
Klubnik, who's much better.
Cade Klubnik
A freaking fantastic QB.
I really hope to see him in a good system. I’m curious just how bad my “Brandon streeter ruins our qbs” theory is.
Talented player, but badly in need of a coach who can fix his mechanics. And also he needs to calm the fuck down. Once things stated going wrong they snowballed to hell.
Good luck Tiger brother. Kick ass and follow your dreams. Thanks for all the hard work and time you've given Clemson. You got your degree, always stayed humble and classy despite the criticism and drama. Respect the hell out of you kid.
DJ U...Ug...Unotgonnaplaythereanymore
ope
Is for me?
I wish him the best wherever he lands. That said, if he is successful somewhere else, I'd be curious to find out what the change was that allowed him to be so.
I hope he goes somewhere and reaches his full potential. That is a damn good kid and he deserves all good things.
What are the chances he comes to Wisconsin? lol
Based on this thread, 3%
Good luck DJ! Thank you for everything you did for Clemson. 2 10 win seasons is nothing to sneeze at. Hopefully that next school has a offense that your talent fits better with.
Tuck Coming?
Oregon State
Or Spencer sanders? We just need someone who can keep the D somewhat honest albeit the run game straight dominates regardless
I wish all the success for the young man
As a clemson fan I couldn't be happier.
He might have a future at Notre Dame
Well he sucks major ass so who gives a shit
Wild that just 2 years ago he was the heir apparent to Trevor Lawrence.
Someone in another thread brought up what might have been for DJ if he didn't throw the pick six against UGA in that season opener last year, which probably made him scared of the big mistake.
Come to Ohio State and compete for the starting QB job...and bring your brother.
Sometimes it just doesn’t work out no matter how hard you tried or how talented you are. DJ has the talent, but just looks rattled every time he makes a mistake. I hope he gets help, and hopefully balls out somewhere else.
Plz follow Brent Venables to OU, plz follow Brent Venables to OU, plz follow Brent Venables to OU
Ukulele was the ultimate bust
Glad he is gone, but I appreciate his character and integrity on and off the field. Best of luck to him
Glad to see Ukelele leave. Hurt the program more than helped. Godspeed kid. Poor scheme fit to begin with.
Do you wanna stay in orange? We need a QB…..
God brought him to bench.
Came here to read comments becuase I heard a rumor UK might be a destination. Little did I know: every college fan in America outside of Clemson has heard the same rumor.
LSU would be a good fit
LSU has a stud freshman QB
No player development on the offensive side of the ball going on a few years.
Based on rumors and knowns. My bet is probably 70% usc 20% Ohio state and 10% others. It’s thought him and matayo will end up at the same school and matayo wants to pursue music and you can’t really do better than LA.
USC that high with Caleb Williams still on the team next year?
I hope he goes elsewhere. I'd rather just roll with McCord, who will have a couple years in the system, and who played with Marvin Harrison Jr. in high school, where they won a state championship together. Might be some rust there, but there could be some foundational chemistry to build off of.
Going to give my actual opinions instead of the love speeches a lot of Clemson fans are putting out: Worst Clemson QB in a decade. Not even sad to lose him as a backup. Wish this transfer happened after the Syracuse game like it should have.
There's simply no need to be a dick about it.
Dude got broken mentally. He went from “is he better than Trevor” “hi DJ, we are Dr Pepper and want to pay you millions” “heisman favorite” to just being broken on the system with Dabo. I blame coaching.
Jackson State about to have an opening
NC State? With Leary transferring, they may be interested
We are not interested. MJ Morris or Ben Finley are our guys next year.
Anywhere but Florida, please
Hollywoooooood
Sad the circumstances ended up this way. He seems like a genuinely good guy, and he does have talent. Just didn’t fit with all the other pieces we had. It didn’t help he only seemed to have chemistry with one receiver (Collins) who was out for some big games this season.

He did everything right while he was here and showed flashes of his talent, but for whatever reason wasn't able to put it together for a full season. A team with a better O line and more imaginative offensive coaches would probably be great for him
He’s got all the tools but hasn’t been good under pressure, if he can work that out he’ll be solid somewhere
Didn’t he start all season?
Yes, but he was finally benched on Saturday
Clemson hit their breaking point when he couldn't complete easy throws against our awful defense. He's done there.
His career at Clemson kinda reminds me of Hank Bachmeier's at Boise State. Some real highs... Probably as many inexplicable lows.
These Fansville episodes just write themselves.
Colorado
He's probably trying to start somewhere. Coach Prime didn't bring his son to Colorado, and basically announce he's their new QB, all for him to sit on the bench.
Come on over
Perhaps this is in the realm of “fat chance” but if he wants to come back to California what about Fresno State? I think Coach Teddy would prepare him nicely for the NFL
hmm
Please go to the Beavs
All those years spent learning to pronounce that last name.
He should make the trip southwest of Clemson for his next gig 😏
I wonder if the school his little brother goes to will effect him at any point. I know the younger Ukalele was looking hard at Ohio State, and DJ ain't going to Ohio State, but maybe that changes things for both.
Next Bo Nix
Come on over to Wisconsin. We have cheese, beer, and Kringle
So DJ ... what do you know about the land run?
Future Greendale Human Being
App State does pretty good with Clemson QB transfers.
I want him to go to UCLA. He needs some home cookin'
TRAAAAAAAASSSSHHHHHHHH
Bye, bitch.
Dabo just never gave this poor kid a chance. He never would hire anyone to help him develop.
Care to elaborate?
To the team's detriment, he gave him way too long of a leash. You couldn't be further from the truth.
Like who?
Flair up
I wish he'd stay.
Ya know is there like a template online for transfer announcements. They all are the same shit with some saying shit like “I’ll always be a skin flute player, go skin!”
He's gonna lead wazu to a pac 12 ship
