Clemson WR Among Top 10 Returning Wide Receivers for 2025

Dabo Swinney’s Tigers have quietly assembled an elite receiving corps, and Wesco’s presence alongside Antonio Williams and T.J. Moore makes Clemson’s passing attack a dangerous unit heading into the season. Let’s break down the top returning wideouts, according to PFF.com, and why Clemson fans should be excited about their young star.

1. Jeremiah Smith, Ohio State

Smith arrived in Columbus as the highest-rated receiver recruit in program history and somehow exceeded expectations in Year 1. His 15 touchdown receptions and 1,311 yards led the Buckeyes to another national title game appearance. He’s not just the best receiver returning—he’s the best player returning to college football in 2025.

2. Ryan Williams, Alabama

The Crimson Tide found their next superstar in Williams, whose 865 receiving yards and eight touchdowns made him a go-to target. At just 17 years old, Williams played like a veteran, and his explosive playmaking ability should only improve next season.

3. Jordyn Tyson, Arizona State

Tyson transferred from Colorado and immediately became Arizona State’s top weapon, posting 1,098 yards despite battling a late-season injury. He and quarterback Sam Leavitt form one of the nation’s most dangerous duos.

4. Elijah Sarratt, Indiana

After transferring from James Madison, Sarratt thrived at the Power Four level, racking up 957 yards and proving he can win against top-tier competition.

5. Eric Singleton Jr., Auburn

A dangerous deep threat, Singleton led all returning Power Four wideouts with 664 yards on deep balls and is now set to shine at Auburn after transferring from Georgia Tech.

6. Cam Coleman, Auburn

Another future star in Auburn’s offense, Coleman caught fire late in the 2024 season, scoring six touchdowns in the final three weeks.

7. Bryant Wesco Jr., Clemson

The Tigers may have found their next great receiver in Wesco. The former five-star recruit wasted no time making an impact, finishing with 707 yards—the third most among true freshmen in the nation.

Wesco’s breakout moment came in Clemson’s ACC Championship win over SMU, where he torched the Mustangs for 142 yards and two touchdowns. His combination of size, speed, and route-running ability makes him a nightmare for defensive backs, and with Cade Klubnik returning at quarterback, expect his numbers to soar in 2025.

With Antonio Williams and T.J. Moore alongside him, Wesco gives Clemson one of the best receiver trios in the country. If Garrett Riley’s offense takes the next step, don’t be surprised if Wesco climbs even higher on this list by season’s end.
