Ella Strong: Bresee plays for younger sister, inspired by her brain cancer battle

CLEMSON – Defensive tackle Bryan Bresee walks out onto the field for pregame warmups and immediately looks into the stands for his family, usually his dad Richie, his mother Meghan, and younger sister Ella. Two members of that group have been noticeable in their absence through the first two games of the 2021 season, but Bresee hopes for a reunion later this season. It’s a reunion we are all hoping for.

Bresee, Clemson’s dynamic defensive leader, grew up in a household with three sisters. Two were older – Bailey and Kendall – and those two helped mold their younger brother into the scrapper he is today.
