Signee analysis: Bryant Wesco - 5-star WR - Midlothian, Texas

Committed since: 6/6/23.

Listed size: 6-2 170.

Mid-year enrollee

Notable: Wesco is one of only ten 247Sports Composite 5-star receivers in the class, ranked sixth-best in that group. He totaled 58 receptions for 1,160 yards and 14 touchdowns as a junior. Wesco’s top schools list also featured Nebraska, TCU, Oklahoma, Colorado, Texas, LSU and Arkansas. According to 247Sports’ own rankings, the last 5-star receiver to sign with Clemson was Derion Kendrick from the 2018 class, who eventually moved to cornerback and finished his career at Georgia. Wesco earned Under Armour All-America and Polynesian Bowl honors.

Wesco was a standout on the track as well in high jump, long jump and triple jump.

Quotable: “Well-rounded WR1 type who can work the middle of the field, produce run-after-catch chunk plays, and stretch the field vertically. Taller, lankier build space to add some mass if desired...Capable of creating late separation at the top of routes. Able to reach for another gear in those situations. Seems to understand angles and spacing when setting up defenders. Creative run-after-catch threat with challenging combination of suddenness and fluidity. Shows fairly easy top-end speed that is somewhat deceptively fast when compared to opposing defenders. Excellent ball-tracking concentration. Regularly makes "combat" catches as a contested ball-winner. Knows how and when to high-point and provides consistent red-zone threat because of it…Projects as a high-major receiver prospect who should become an impact player for multiple years.” - 247Sports’ Gabe Brooks on Wesco.
