CLEMSON — One of Clemson’s star wideouts will be draft-eligible after the season.
Bryant Wesco Jr., who is on the verge of finishing up his third year with the Tigers, will certainly have a decision to make at the conclusion of the season.
The 6-foot-2 native of Midlothian, Texas, currently leads Clemson in catches (44) and receiving yards (511), and despite not having a touchdown catch to his credit, has been one of the few bright spots for an offense that has struggled with consistency.
While Wesco is still a year from getting his degree, a decision about his future is coming.
“I think I still have another year in order to graduate,” the receiver said.
As a former five-star recruit, the talk of the NFL is nothing new for Wesco. It’s been hovering around him since stepping foot on campus and earning freshman All-American honors after catching 41 passes for 708 yards and a team-high 17.3 yards per catch, along with five touchdowns during his debut season.
As a sophomore, Wesco had 31 receptions for 537 yards with a team-high six receiving touchdowns before a neck injury in the seventh game sidelined him for the rest of the season.
However, what his plans are for next year are not something he is focused on at this time. With a matchup against Georgia Tech on deck for this weekend, and two more regular season games to follow, Wesco’s only concern is helping the Tigers finish as strong as possible.
“I have not been really worried about that,” Wesco added. “That is kind of a decision I will make after the season. After that last game I play for this season. As of right now, it is just a throw-up for me.”
