Throughout Klubnik's freshman season, he was used primarily as a backup to DJ Uiagalelei.[12] During Clemson's opening game against Georgia Tech in 2022, Klubnik passed for 49 yards and a touchdown.[13] He saw significant action in relief of a benched Uiagalelei against Syracuse, a game which Clemson won narrowly in a 27–21 comeback.[14]

[15] He passed for 279 yards and a touchdown in the 39–10 win over North Carolina.[16] He was their starter in the 2022 Orange Bowl against Tennessee due to Uiagalelei entering the transfer portal.[17][18] Klubnik had to deal with constant pressure from Tennessee. Despite the pressure, he helped lead Clemson to numerous scoring opportunities that did not result in points.[19] He got sacked four times and threw two interceptions to go along with 320 passing yards. Tennessee won the 2022 Orange Bowl 31–14.[20]
