Former Clemson star Patrick Sapp watched a large number of the recent spring practices for the Tigers. Sapp is closer to the team than usual because his son Josh plays tight end for Clemson. Sapp gives his extended thoughts and insights on what he observed, and where he thinks the Tigers are headed in Year 17 under Dabo Swinney. Last August, Sapp was bullish on the idea that Cade Klubnik and the offense had made real progress and would shine in 2024. That conviction proved true, as the Tigers' final act was stressing an elite Texas defense in ways the Longhorns hadn't been pushed previously. Sapp also shares why he's spent so much of his time and passion on helping Clemson athletes set themselves up for success after their playing careers end. When Sapp played for Clemson in the 1990s, there was no PAW Journey and almost nothing devoted to helping him and other athletes develop relationships that could lead to real-world occupations. That's changed in a big way over the years and Sapp is an integral part of it. On Monday at Holly Tree Country Club in Simpsonville, Sapp will preside over the One Clemson Golf Tournament that will include Dabo Swinney, Charlie Whitehurst, CJ Spiller and other Clemson luminaries. One Clemson helps transition Clemson student-athletes to their careers by providing meaningful work experience and community-service opportunities. For more information go to one-clemson.com.

On this episode, the guys welcome our first current college athlete to the pod to discuss his journey to become one of college football's leading quarterbacks going into the 2025 season. Cade discusses why he has turned down transfer portal offers for several years, and the value he has placed on staying at a place like Clemson for his entire college career. Cade authentically discusses the adversity he faced in his sophomore year at Clemson, how he faced it and grew from it, and how much he values going through the fire with his teammates. His discussion of the commitment to hard work every single day that athletes must embrace to achieve their goals is inspiring, and he shares his take on what true leadership looks like, especially when things aren't going well. In addition, Cade talks about what it was like to grow up and play ball at Westlake HS in Austin Texas, where he never lost a game, even in middle school. He also share his recruiting story and offers advice to high school kids today regarding what they should be considering when selecting a school to play at.

As college athletics enters the revenue-sharing model, Patrick Sapp has a different perspective than most because: 1) He played in the NFL; 2) His son Josh is currently being paid to play at Clemson. Josh, preparing for his third year with the Tigers, certainly didn't command the major price tag earned by some of the team's elite weapons including Cade Klubnik, Antonio Williams and Peter Woods. But there were actual negotiations and he is making an actual cut of the revenue share. "Going through the negotiating process and conversations with Josh was very interesting," Patrick said. "It truly reminded me of the NFL contractual conversations that my agent and I went through when I played for San Diego and Arizona.  "What's the player's value? What has he contributed? What do the coaches feel like a player can contribute in the future? All those things go into what a player demands from the university, or from the internal collectives. And that is truly how those numbers are reached. "The other influence on this whole thing is other school are now interested in your players. So for people who say 'This is all crazy,' schools are now coming after your starters. It's not as much about kids being angry over playing time. It's now a case of, you have to protect your starters all 12 months of the year." Sapp says he does have some concerns over what gobs of money can do the minds of young men who are still in their formative years and expected to attend classes and make progress toward graduation. "Fortunately my son has me. And we are definitely taking care of his money the right way. He's definitely with a financial planner, accountant and all those surrounding things. And we're not doing it just to manage it for him; we're doing it to educate him along the way so he truly understands it. He and I talk about what's important and not important about how you spend your money, so that he can have those good habits early in life. "Unfortunately all kids don't have that situation. So then it's up to the coaches and the support staff and all those people to wrap their arms around those young men who are in those situations so they don't do crazy things with the money they have.  "And I explained it as simple as this to my son: 'This is the only time in your life where you will make a significant amount of money with no financial responsibility. So given that, the money you make in college should triple by the time you leave. Because you have no expenses. This is the only time in your life that you will have that, so let's get a head start on life.' That's where our conversation started." Sapp also gives his thoughts and insights on the fundamental defensive flaws in 2024 that led Dabo Swinney to fire Wes Goodwin and bring in Tom Allen from Penn State.

Cade Klubnik's return to Austin to face former high school rival Quinn Ewers is one of the more compelling stories of the inaugural 12-team playoff. The story has fascinating roots, and with that in mind we revisit two interviews we conducted years ago to learn more about Klubnik's background: -- With Klubnik in December of 2021, days before he was to fly to Clemson to begin life as a Tiger; -- With Klubnik's high school coach, Todd Dodge, in December of 2022 as Klubnik was set to take over as Clemson's starting quarterback. The most remarkable part of Klubnik's journey to Clemson is that he stuck with the Tigers even when they didn't offer him. He had to wait until Ty Simpson decided between Clemson and Alabama before that offer came. And meanwhile, Steve Sarkisian at Texas and Jimbo Fisher at Texas A&M had already offered him. Dodge decided to retire after Klubnik led Westlake High School to a third consecutive state title as a senior. After two years out of the game, Dodge returned to the football field last offseason when he took over at Lovejoy High in Lucas, Texas.

The first round of the College Football playoff is here! Will Notre Dame be able to run the football against Indiana or will the Hoosiers continue their remarkable run? Can SMU hold up in the trenches or will Penn State hammer down in the 2nd half, who will perform better, Clemson's Cade Klubnik or Texas' Quinn Ewers and can Ohio State bounce back on offense against a strong Tennessee defense? McElroy breaks down all the games and asks the questions that will determine the outcomes. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
