The 100-yard receiving effort was Wesco’s first of the season and his first since Oct. 11, 2025, at Boston College.
Wesco posted the first 150-yard receiving performance by a Clemson player since Tyler Brown’s 153-yard effort at Syracuse in 2023.
With the performance, Wesco (1,560) reached 1,500 career receiving yards.
A 55-yard fourth-quarter reception by Wesco was Clemson’s longest pass play of the 2026 season.

Brown’s 10th catch of the game was his 100th career reception.
