Clemson WR Out for Pinstripe Bowl

Clemson will be without this wide receiver for the Pinstripe Bowl matchup vs. Penn State on Saturday.

Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney said during his press conference Friday that WR Cole Turner will be out for the Pinstripe Bowl with a lower-body injury.

“He’s going to be out,” Swinney said. “He’s going to probably have to have a surgery, probably here in the next week, for a lower-body injury. So, he’ll be out.”

Turner has played in all 12 games this season (two starts), tallying 16 receptions for 144 yards.

The 6-foot-1, 185-pounder entered the 2025 season with 27 career receptions for 418 yards and two touchdowns, as well as five career carries for 56 yards and a rushing touchdown, over 19 games (two starts) across his first three years at Clemson from 2022-24.

Turner flashed down the stretch of his redshirt season in 2022, including a 100-yard effort in his second career game in the 2022 ACC Championship Game, then caught three passes for 28 yards over two games in 2023 before missing the majority of the season with an adductor injury and earning a medical redshirt. In 2024, he recorded 16 catches for 229 yards and two touchdowns, and five rushing attempts for 56 yards and another score, over 14 games.

The Pinstripe Bowl is set to kick off at noon Saturday from Yankee Stadium in the Bronx and will be televised on ABC.
