Midlothian (Texas) five-star wide receiver and Clemson commit Bryant Wesco has signed with the Tigers.

The 6-foot-2, 170-pounder committed to Clemson on June 6, picking the Tigers over LSU, TCU, and USC. The family aspect played a major factor in his decision.

Even after his commitment, other schools kept in contact with him and tried to get him to visit. In October, he put a rest to those rumors and announced on social media that his recruitment was closed.

“While I am thankful for all the coaches and schools that recruited me, I am 100% locked in to Clemson. My recruitment is closed,” Wesco wrote.

Wesco is the No. 24 overall prospect and No. 7 WR in the 2024 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He’s also the No. 6 player in the Lone Star State.

“The thing that stood out to me is how close they all are,” Wesco told On3 upon his commitment. “Everyone at Clemson interacts as one big family and the long term reputation that Clemson has held with WR success and the program success In general was also a big factor.”
