Clemson quarterback Christopher Vizzina says he has been in touch with wide receiver Bryant Wesco Jr. since he left the hospital.

“I have. He’s in good spirits,” Vizzina said Tuesday.

As you know, Wesco suffered a scary injury in last Saturday’s game against SMU.

The sophomore was injured during a punt return in the third quarter, when he was flipped up in the air by an SMU defender and landed on his head/neck area. Though he got up and walked off the field, Wesco eventually left the game and was transported to a nearby hospital.

During his weekly teleconference on Monday, Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney gave an update on Wesco, saying prayers were answered with his injury. Swinney revealed that Wesco suffered a back injury, but there’s no fracture, and he was released from the hospital.

Swinney called it a “very serious” injury and said there were “a lot of unknowns for the first 24 hours or so,” but that it turned out to be a “best-case scenario.”

Vizzina said Tuesday that he’d been “praying for him really hard.”

“I’m glad everything worked out in a best-case scenario,” Vizzina added.

Wesco will be out for the rest of the season, but fortunately, he is expected to make a full recovery.

“We’re going to miss him,” Vizzina said. “But he’s definitely a brother to me, someone I really care about, and he’s doing good.”

Wesco, Clemson’s leading wide receiver to this point in the season, finished the year with 31 catches for 537 yards and six touchdowns in seven games (all starts).

A native of Midlothian, Texas, Wesco enrolled at Clemson in January 2024. The 6-foot-2, 190-pounder caught 41 passes for 708 yards and five touchdowns over 12 games (11 starts) in his freshman All-America season in 2024.
