Clemson is set to retain another star rising junior wide receiver.
Bryant Wesco Jr. has re-signed with the Tigers and will be back for the 2026 season, The Clemson Insider confirmed Saturday.
Wesco joins fellow standout rising junior wideout T.J. Moore in re-signing to return to Clemson next season.
Wesco was on-track for an all-conference-caliber season through six games in 2025 before suffering a season-ending injury in the seventh game of the year. The 6-foot-2, 190-pounder caught 31 passes for 537 yards with a team-high six receiving touchdowns over seven games (all starts) this season.
In 2025, Wesco became the fourth Clemson player in Dabo Swinney’s head coaching tenure to record at least six receiving touchdowns over the first six games of a season, joining DeAndre Hopkins, Deon Cain and Sammy Watkins. Wesco also became the fourth player in Clemson history to record 1,000 receiving yards in the first 15 games of a career alongside Watkins, Artavis Scott and Justyn Ross.
Wesco also became the first Clemson player to record at least 500 receiving yards and at least five touchdown catches in each of his freshman and sophomore seasons since Ross from 2018-19.
Wesco will enter the 2026 campaign having recorded 72 receptions for 1,245 yards and 11 touchdowns over 19 career games (18 starts).
He was a freshman All-American in 2024 when he was half of Clemson’s freshman wide receiver duo alongside Moore that made the Tigers the first power conference team since at least 2000 to have multiple freshmen reach 650-plus receiving yards and five or more touchdown catches in a single season.
