Bailey is starting in place of Coastal Carolina transfer Grayson McCall, who was injured this past weekend against Louisiana Tech. Doeren said that McCall is “day-to-day” and dealing with an undisclosed injury, per The Wolfpacker.
CJ Bailey is a Hollywood, Florida native who was rated as a three-star recruit and the No. 27 quarterback in the country in the class of 2024, per the On3 Industry rankings.

Bailey played much of last week’s NC State game with Louisiana Tech after Grayson McCall was injured. He was 13 of 20 passing for 156 yards with no touchdowns and an interception. He also ran for 27 yards and a score as NC State earned a 30-20 come-from-behind victory.
Getting his first college start at Clemson is obviously a tough task for Bailey. The Tigers have one of the best defenses in college football, led by a dynamic front seven that will attempt to put plenty of pressure on the young QB.
Clemson is 2-0 on the season and coming off of a bye week. The Tigers lost to Georgia in Atlanta to open the year, before pounding Appalachian State in Week 2.
As for NC State, the Wolfpack enter the matchup with the Tigers with a 2-1 record. NC State has wins over Western Carolina and Louisiana Tech, but the Pack also were blown out by Tennessee in Week 2, falling 51-10.
