247 National writeup on the state championship game last night. Klubnik beat Quinn Ewers 52-34 to win Texas Class 6A Div. 1 state title
Junior four-star quarterback Cade Klubnik starred in Westlake's win, earning Offensive MVP honors as he completed all but two of his 20 pass attempts for 220 yards, one touchdown, and no interceptions, while running for 97 yards and two TD's on 17 carries. We had seen Klubnik's encouraging functional athleticism as a scrambler and on the designed run every now and then, but his mobility played a major role in Westlake's offensive success against Carroll. Klubnik's participation in the 400 meters -- he owns a 51.52-second personal record -- long jump, and triple jump no doubt aid his on-field athleticism. He flashed his track stride a couple of times, particularly on a long touchdown run that was wiped out by penalty. He was very accurate as a passer, as evidenced by his numbers, and threw with a good mix of zip and touch when either was required. A top 25 overall prospect in Texas on the industry-generated 247Sports Composite, Klubnik will likely rise upon the next 2022 update.
