2022 Fantasy Outlook
The offseason has brought hyper attention to the quarterback position at Clemson. Uiagalelei is coming off a season that led the Tigers to dead last in the ACC in passing efficiency. At the same time Clemson brought in five-star true freshman and MaxPreps Player of the Year Cade Klubnik. Head coach Dabo Swinney has talked down any ideas that there may be a quarterback competition and stated “D.J. is definitely our starter,” following the Orange and White Spring Game. Following the poor year D.J. seems to be taking the job more seriously as he acknowledged he was carrying around too much weight and made it a point of emphasis to bring his 260+ pound body weight down to 240 by the start of spring practices. Uiagalelei will have to continue to put in this kind of work with new offensive coordinator Brandon Streeter in order to avoid another season like last year and to keep Klubnik on the sidelines.

Headed to Oregon State
Uiagalelei committed to Oregon State on Friday, joining the program as a transfer from Clemson, Pete Thamel of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
After Trevor Lawrence left Clemson for the NFL following the 2020 campaign, Uiagalelei had two up-and-down seasons as the Tigers' top quarterback. Uiagalelei did show significant improvement during the 2022 campaign, throwing for 2,515 yards, 22 touchdowns and seven interceptions. The dual-threat quarterback also had 545 rushing yards and seven additional scores on the ground. However, with an elite prospect in freshman Cade Klubnik waiting and the wings and perhaps in line to usurp him on the depth chart heading into 2023, Uiagalelei elected to enter the portal and quickly found a home elsewhere in the Power Five ranks. He shouldn't face much of a challenge for the starting gig at Oregon State heading into the upcoming campaign.

2021 Fantasy Outlook
Uiagelelei has big shoes to fill but his recruiting pedigree and significant action last season give Clemson fans and fantasy players a reason to buy in on the sophomore. The former five-star started two games in 2020, throwing for 781 yards with four touchdowns and no picks, including a 400-yard performance at Notre Dame. Some of 2020’s top producers are gone, but Clemson reloads at its skill positions with elite talent. Clemson’s talent advantage every week in the ACC will make things easy for DJU and his own talent makes him a worthy QB1 in drafts.
