Commitment Breakdown: Bryant Wesco to Clemson

Clemson is rolling on the recruiting trail, and that momentum continued with the Tigers' latest commitment. Four-star wide receiver Bryant Wesco announced his pledge to Dabo Swinney and company on Tuesday, shutting his recruitment down.

Fresh off an official visit, Wesco opted for the ACC power over a host of other contenders. LSU, Oklahoma, TCU, and USC were also heavily in the mix for the blue chip talent out of Midlothian, Texas, in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.

Clemson wide receivers coach Tyler Grisham and offensive coordinator Garrett Riley played significant roles in getting this done. Wesco is very familiar with Riley from the offensive mind's stint in the Lone Star State.

"I like coach Grisham and then coach Riley, he was great at TCU," Wesco told Rivals.com about his relationship with the Tigers' staff earlier this spring.

Bryant Wesco is one of the premier pass catchers in the 2024 recruiting cycle. A lean receiver on the outside, Wesco has the ability to stretch the field vertically as well as create after the catch. The potential to be a go-to weapon on the next level is evident.

He averaged 20 yards per reception during his junior season while totaling 1,160 yards and 17 touchdowns on 58 grabs. That big-play ability has shown up on Friday nights and in camp settings versus high-level competition in Texas.

“He has great ball skills. Really good at catching the ball through traffic and 50/50 jump balls,” Wesco’s trainer David Robinson told Rivals. “Has great feet versus press coverage and physical at the top of his routes to win.”

Furthermore, the four-star receiver adds an impressive track profile to his game on the gridiron. Wesco competes in the high jump, long jump and triple jump, qualifying for the state meet in track and field. Which only increases his ceiling on the next level.

Clemson was able to go into Texas and win out for a top target on several programs' boards. The Tigers won a head-to-head battle over Oklahoma, who was largely viewed as the team to beat in Wesco's recruitment for a long stretch.

Additionally, TCU was making a major push for the in-state target, while Lincoln Riley and USC had already hosted the Texas playmaker for an official visit in May. None of that mattered as Clemson added another big fish to its growing 2024 class.

The Tigers have attracted and produced big-time wide receivers in the Swinney era. Wesco has the talent to be next-up in that line. His commitment is further proof that Clemson remains a major force on the trail, as Wesco joins high four-star linebacker Sammy Brown and fellow four-star wideout Terrance Moore in committing this week.
