Clemson has been searching for its next starting quarterback ever since the team won a national title this year and got back to campus. Everyone knew Watson was going to be gone after that game as he graduated early and was taken in the first round of the NFL Draft by the Houston Texans. It looks like the Tigers and their fans now have their answer:
Clemson announces its summer depth chart. FWIW on May 22, Kelly Bryant is the starting QB, with Zerrick Cooper OR Hunter Johnson at No. 2.

Kelly Bryant appeared in four games last season and had only nine passing attempts of which he completed six for 48 yards and a touchdown. He also rushed 12 times for 22 yards and a touchdown last season and is the longest tenured player at the QB position on the team, which likely helped him win the job.
