CLEMSON – Brannon Spector makes his long-awaited return to the field when Clemson kicks off the season against Georgia Tech on Labor Day, almost nine months to the day after surgery to correct the issue that cost him the 2021 season. And he’s more than thrilled to do it close to home.
Spector is a slot receiver and Clemson football legacy who enters 2022 with 19 career catches for 152 yards and two rushes for 21 yards in 221 snaps over 14 games (one start).
He missed the 2021 season with respiratory challenges that stemmed from a bout with COVID, and then he dealt with gastroesophageal reflux (GERD), which led to his surgery on December 9th of last year (GERD occurs when stomach acid flows back into the esophagus).
