Did Bryant Wesco Jr. make the right call choosing Clemson over OSU because of his sister's wishes?

Making waves at Clemson Tigers, a five-star recruit from Midlothian, Texas, Bryant Wesco Jr. is leaving a mark as a standout wide receiver. But before reaching this feat in his career, his journey was not that straight to the Clemson Tides with his sister Bailey Wesco’s connection with the OSU team. However, Bryant Jr. chose the Tigers over Oklahoma. But what was Wesco’s reason for it? Let’s get into it.

“She doesn’t mind where I go; she wants me to succeed; she’d rather me not go there; she doesn’t want me around her,” said Bryant Wesco Jr., joking about his sister Bailey Wesco not wanting him around her. Well, looking at Bryant’s sister’s connection to Oklahoma, there was a big fuss about him joining the same team to continue his collegiate career. Despite being a sophomore soccer player for Oklahoma, Bailey never pushed Bryant Jr. toward OSU. Moreover, she truly exemplified the love of a big sister by supporting his decision to choose his desired team.

This was evident when Bryant Wesco Jr. chose the Clemson Tigers over OSU. Bryan was always fascinated by the culture and coaching styles at Clemson. “Here it was more than football; it was about academics. It was about faith,” said Wesco while talking about his shift towards the Tigers. The culture that head coach Dabo Swinney cultivated inside the Clemson program attracted Bryant Jr. to the team. According to Bryant, in Clemson, the focus is more on preparing players on what things to focus on even when they don’t make it to the NFL. It’s more about their well-being as a person than a football player. Looking at his remarkable performance ahead of this season, there is no harm in saying that Bryant made the right decision in choosing the Clemson Tigers.
