Clemson's backup quarterback is now listed as questionable for action in the home ACC opener with UNC.
Christopher Vizzina (arm) was downgraded from probable in the Friday ACC availability report. That designation means he is given a 50% chance of being available to play.
Vizzina was listed as the backup to freshman Tait Reynolds on Monday's depth chart release. There is no third-string QB listed on the depth chart, but former walk-on Trent Pearman would be the likely candidate.
Vizzina came into the season as Clemson's starter and then was a co-starter by week two versus Georgia Southern. He suffered a non-throwing-arm injury, per a report from Dabo Swinney , who said Vizzina felt numbness in that arm during the Georgia Southern game.
He completed 14-of-23 passes for 102 yards with a touchdown and two picks in two games this season.
Pearman entered 2026 having completed 4-of-10 career passes for 43 yards and having rushed five times for 17 yards in 33 career snaps over six games. He played late in the 38-10 win over UNC last year.
UNC DL Melkhart Abou Jaoude continues to be listed as questionable for the Tar Heels. He has 11.5 sacks over the last two seasons.
The game is on ESPN at noon. Clemson is a 3-point favorite.
