When Bryant Wesco Jr. committed to Clemson football in the 2024 class, it was clear that the Tigers got a budding star who was about to have a special career.
There was one thing that some fans were concerned about: his frame.
Wesco came to Clemson as a 6-foot-2, 170-pound wideout, and he looked like it when he stepped on the field. He had a slight frame that looked like it needed some bulking if he was going to star at the collegiate level. Fortunately, he was a star anyway, breaking out as a freshman for 708 yards and five touchdowns on 41 receptions.
Still, his weight felt like an issue, but Clemson receivers coach Tyler Grisham provided an intriguing update on the soon-to-be sophomore.

If we're going off of last year's weight, that means he's around 190 pounds. Grisham said he should be able to use his body and be more physical.
Plus, "He got faster, it seemed to me."
Not only has Wesco put on 20 pounds to flirt with 200 on his 6-foot-2 frame, but he's also reportedly faster than he was a year ago which is surprising given the weight gain. Some athletes gain some much-needed weight but lose a step, but it doesn't look like that's a Wesco issue.
Wesco now has a 6-foot-2, 190-pound frame, at least, and he's quicker than he was as a freshman when he averaged 17.3 yards per catch.
That's not just an intriguing update, but that's a huge one.
The former top-50 recruit from Texas is part of a three-headed monster that could add a fourth and fifth head with Tristan Smith and Tyler Brown both coming to life in 2025. Antonio Williams and TJ Moore are also expected to have big seasons as Clemson may just have the best receiving corps in the country outside of Ohio State.
