Clemson’s Bryant Wesco Jr. Out for Season After Punt-Return Back Injury

Doctors are confident he will fully recover following hospital evaluation in Greenville.

Overview

  • Wesco was injured on a third-quarter punt return against SMU when a low tackle flipped him and he landed on his head and neck area.
  • He walked off but did not return, and he was taken to a Greenville hospital for tests before being released Monday to rest at home.
  • Dabo Swinney said Monday that the injury is very serious yet not as severe as feared, and that doctors expect a full recovery.
  • Swinney indicated Wesco will miss the remainder of the season and that evaluations showed he avoided a fracture related to the spinal area.
  • Wesco leads Clemson with 31 receptions for 537 yards and six touchdowns and had been handling primary punt-return duties with Antonio Williams Jr. sidelined.
