Transfer WR to Get More Snaps with Wesco Out

With Clemson wide receiver Bryant Wesco Jr. out for the year, how does that impact the playing time for transfer wideout Tristan Smith?

Swinney said Monday evening that Smith will get more snaps with Wesco sidelined.

“Definitely ups his opportunity, for sure,” Swinney said of Smith.

Smith caught his first touchdown as a Tiger in last Saturday’s 35-24 loss to SMU. His 23-yard touchdown catch on fourth-and-21 with just under seven minutes to play cut Clemson’s deficit to 29-24. It was one of the most contested touchdown grabs from a Tigers’ wide receiver this season.
