Clemson star wide receiver Bryant Wesco Jr. is returning to the team

Clemson will retain another key piece of its offense heading into the 2026 season.

According to reports, rising junior wide receiver Bryant Wesco Jr. has re-upped with the Tigers and will return next year. ESPN’s Pete Thamel reported the news, with Wesco joining fellow rising junior T.J. Moore as another major target set to be back in Clemson’s offense.

Wesco’s 2025 season was cut short after he suffered a back injury in the SMU game, but his production before that point stood out. In seven starts, he caught 31 passes for 537 yards and six touchdowns, leading Clemson in receiving scores and placing himself among the national leaders at the position before going down.

Even with the shortened season, Wesco’s body of work remains impressive. He enters 2026 with 72 receptions for 1,245 yards and 11 touchdowns over 19 career games. After earning freshman All-American honors in 2024, Wesco has continued to establish himself as a reliable and explosive option in the Tigers ’ passing game, giving Clemson a proven weapon back in the fold for next season.
