  09/26/26 - Bryant Wesco Jr., Jr/2028, Clemson, 6-2, 195 (DS#10 WR) + More +

  Bryant Wesco Jr. had Clemson's first punt return touchdown in eight years to break a tie late in the third quarter and the Tigers went on to beat California 24-10 Friday night in a game where both offenses struggled. Both Clemson (3-1, 2-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) and Cal (2-2, 1-1) struggled to generate much offense in the first matchup between the schools since the Golden Bears joined the ACC in 2024. The teams combined for one offensive touchdown until Gideon Davidson put the game away with a 75-yard run with 2:59 to play. Davidson finished with 159 yards rushing and two TDs. Cal got a field goal to tie the game on the opening drive of the second half, but Clemson went back ahead after the Bears punted on their next possession. Agnus Davies had a low 39-yard punt down the middle that Wesco fielded on the run. He eluded two tacklers and then broke it toward the Clemson sideline before racing in for the 65-yard score. It was the first punt return touchdown for the Tigers since their national championship season in 2018 when Amari Rodgers had a 58-yarder in a win at Boston College.

The Tigers defense made the lead stand up as Cal never got close to the end zone again. Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele finished 16 for 29 for 119 yards and two interceptions for his fewest yards in 17 career starts. Clemson's Tait Reynolds wasn't much better, throwing for 108 yards and turning the ball over twice in his second start. The teams traded interceptions on each opening drive and that set the tone for the first half dominated by the defenses. Cal struck first with a 35-yard fumble return touchdown by Kamar Mothudi. But Clemson got a field goal and then took the lead on a 1-yard run by Davidson that capped a 17-play drive that was extended when Niles Davis jumped offside on a fourth-and-4 pooch punt out of field-goal formation. - AP College Football

  11/29/25 - Cade Klubnik, Sr/2026, Clemson, 6-2, 207 (DS#8 QB) + More +

  Cade Klubnik threw for 268 yards and ran for a touchdown, cornerback Ricardo Jones had two interceptions including one for a score, and Clemson closed a disappointing season with its fourth straight win, 28-14 over rival South Carolina on Saturday. The Tigers (7-5) also got a touchdown run from Adam Randall, two field goals from Nolan Hauser and their defense held strong as the Gamecocks (4-8) tried to rally. Jones led the way for a defense that had come under fire during Clemson's 3-5 start. He ended one drive with a pick in the end zone after South Carolina drove to the Tigers 23. He ended the game when LaNorris Sellers' pass bounced off receiver Nyck Harbor. Jones took it in for the clinching, 12-yard TD. It was a satisfying finish to a disappointing regular season. Clemson, the defending Atlantic Coast Conference champs picked to repeat, lost four of its first five home games to fall from all title races. But like in 2023 when Clemson started 4-4 and won its last five, the team bounced back down the stretch with wins over Florida State, at nationally ranked Louisville and Furman before beating the Gamecocks for the second time in three seasons.

South Carolina quarterback Sellers, regarded as a high-round NFL draft pick, finished with a season-high 381 yards and two touchdowns. But his two interceptions cost his team when it mattered most. After a scoreless first quarter in which the teams traded punts and each had a turnover, things got going in the second period. The Tigers had TD drives of 78 and 85 yards while the Gamecocks responded with two long scoring passes from Sellers. Randall broke around the right side for a 10-yard run to start the scoring before Sellers answered back with a 53-yard strike to an open Harbor to tie things. Klubnik fumbled on the next drive, but quickly picked the ball up and sprinted for a 3-yard score to re-take the lead. Sellers, though, needed only one play to find Vendrevius Jacobs for a 74-yard touchdown. Clemson's next drive stalled inside the South Carolina 20 and Nolan Hauser hit a 32-yard field goal for a 17-14 lead at the break. Randall ran for 102 yards on 24 carries and T.J. Moore had six catches for 101 yards. - Clemson/AP College Football

  11/22/25 - Antonio Williams, rJr/2026, Clemson, 6-0, 187 (DS#14 WR) + More +

  It took until nearly Thanksgiving to gain bowl eligibility, but Clemson finally notched its sixth win of the season on Saturday. A preseason top-5 team didn't expect to wait this long, but Antonio Williams caught two first-half touchdown passes from senior quarterback Cade Klubnik to lead the Tigers to a 45-10 victory over FCS-opponent Furman in the final 2025 game at Memorial Stadium. It's the latest in the calendar Clemson has needed to become bowl eligible since 2008, but the Tigers (6-5) extended their postseason streak to 21.

Clemson went up 24-0 after Klubnik found Williams on a 35-yard scoring strike, their second connection of the day, with 14:15 left in the second quarter. Klubnik received an ovation from the crowd on Senior Day when he exited the game with 12:15 remaining. Also in his final career home game, Williams had a 30-yard punt return, Clemson's longest of the season, and set up the first touchdown when Klubnik found him open for a 21-yard score. Tyler Brown made it 17-0 on a nifty 21-yard reverse run for a touchdown, and the Tigers tacked on three more touchdowns through backups. Furman quarterback Trey Hedden was 22-of-38 passing with an interception and a touchdown. Clemson forced two turnovers and kept the Paladins (6-6) out of the end zone until the third quarter, when they got within three touchdowns. - Clemson/AP College Football

  11/14/25 - Adam Randall, Sr/2026, Clemson, 6-3, 232 (DS#1 FB) + More +

  Adam Randall ran for 105 yards and two touchdowns, and Clemson overcame Louisville's goal-line stand and a botched punt snap to sneak out with a 20-19 victory over the No. 19 Cardinals on Friday night. The Tigers (5-5, 3-5 Atlantic Coast Conference) went ahead on Randall's 1-yard touchdown run with 7:16 left. It was the second fourth-and-goal play at the 1-yard line for the Tigers in the final period, with the Cardinals (7-3, 4-3) stuffing them four minutes earlier. Cooper Ranvier, who missed an extra point in the second quarter, went wide left on a 50-yard field goal on Louisville's next drive, but a low snap to Clemson punter Jack Smith gave the Cardinals the ball at the Tigers 23-yard line with 2:29 left. However, a false start and an unsportsmanlike conduct flag pushed Louisville back, and Nick Keller missed a 46-yarder with 1:33 remaining. Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said his "heart breaks" for Louisville because the Cardinals could have pulled out the win.

Besides the snap snafu, a 31-yard punt in the second quarter gave Louisville the ball at the Tigers 38. Miller Moss scored on a 1-yard sneak to make it 9-3 with 8:47 left in the first half. "We made enough mistakes to lose the game, and they made, obviously, mistakes, too," Swinney said. "But we just made just a couple more critical plays than they did." Louisville coach Jeff Brohm felt similarly, noting his team had "plenty of chances" to pull out the victory. The Cardinals committed 10 penalties for 98 yards. Three of those were for unsportsmanlike conduct. "We just did not play smart football at the end, overall, and we were not focused and locked in," Brohm said. The Tigers won despite converting just one of 13 third-down plays and giving up 385 yards to the Cardinals. Cade Klubnik was 22-of-34 passing for 187 yards. Keyjuan Brown ran for 135 yards on 15 carries for Louisville and Moss completed 19 of 27 passes for 212 yards. Receiver Caullin Lacy caught four passes for 60 yards and threw for a touchdown pass. - Clemson/AP College Football

  11/08/25 - Cade Klubnik, Sr/2026, Clemson, 6-2, 207 (DS#8 QB) + More +

  Dabo Swinney loved seeing the Clemson Tigers he'd gotten used so. "I loved their effort, I loved their toughness, I loved their stick-to-it-ness," coach Swinney said after his team's first home victory in two months with a 24-10 victory Florida State on Saturday night. "It don't get old to beat the 'Noles," Swinney said. Cade Klubnik threw for a touchdown and ran for a second to lead the Tigers (4-5, 3-4 Atlantic Coast Conference) to a win in Death Valley for the first time since defeating Troy on Sept. 6. The Tigers and Seminoles (4-5, 1-5) looked like they would have big implications on the ACC race. But both contenders were out of the picture early and left scrambling to salvage lost seasons.

Clemson was 1-4 at home this season and had lost its past six games against Power 4 programs on its field. This time, though, the Tigers took an 18-0 lead and took advantage of nearly all of Florida State's miscues. They held the league's top offense to its lowest totals with 360 yards, 110 yards rushing and 10 points. "Our record isn't what we want to be," Swinney said. "But when you see the resilience, you know what these guys have under the hood." Klubnik had a 3-yard TD run to finish the 75-yard opening scoring drive and holder Clay Swinney - the youngest son of coach Swinney - bolted for a two-point conversion. The Tigers cashed in on a fourth-down stop in the second quarter inside Florida State territory with a 34-yard flea flicker scoring pass from Klubnik to Antonio Williams. Down 24-7 in the fourth quarter, the Seminoles were called for offensive pass interference and unnecessary roughness to push them back. The Tiger defense struggled the past two games, allowing 81 points combined in losses to SMU and Duke. Maybe it was a visit by former national championship defensive coordinator Brent Venables or a renewed dedication to finishing strong, but Clemson held strong when it mattered most. The Tigers had a fourth-down stop and forced a fumble with Florida State on Clemson's 8 to end two promising first-half drives by Florida State. - Clemson/AP College Football

  10/21/25 - Bryant Wesco Jr., Jr/2028, Clemson, 6-2, 195 (DS#10 WR) + More +

  Clemson leading receiver Bryant Wesco Jr. will miss the rest of the season after sustaining a back injury against SMU this past weekend. Coach Dabo Swinney said Monday that Wesco had a "very serious" back injury but did not disclose more details. Wesco was injured on a punt return, when he landed almost directly on his head/neck area after a low tackle sent him somersaulting in the air upside down. Though he got up and walked to the sideline on his own, he never returned to the field and was taken to the hospital in Greenville, South Carolina, for further evaluation. Swinney said Wesco was released from the hospital Monday and was resting at home, and that the injury could have been far worse. "It was a very, very scary injury, and the doctors did an amazing job," Swinney said in a teleconference with local reporters. "The doctors are very confident he'll make a full recovery. Definitely something that'll keep him out the rest of this season, but thankful that all indications are he's going to be OK. Just a real blessing for that." Wesco leads Clemson with 31 catches for 537 yards and six touchdowns. He thanked those who sent him prayers on his Instagram stories Monday. - ESPN College Football
