LSU stops in to see elite WR target
2024 Midlothian (Tex.) wide receiver Bryant Wesco set his LSU official visit for June 10, Wesco told On3 on Friday. The Tigers are one of five official visits next month.
On Monday, wide receivers coach Cortez Hankton was by his school to make LSU’s second stop of the evaluation period to see Wesco. Offensive coordinator Mike Denbrock and Hankton stopped in earlier this month as well.
Earlier this spring, Wesco was at LSU for the first time on a two-day visit. He came away impressed with the program and watching wide receivers coach Cortez Hankton.
“It was pretty neat,” Wesco told On3. “Coach Tez was pretty cool. He had good practice for his players and drills and all that. Think practice was ran pretty well. I didn’t have any problems. I didn’t dislike anything from their program and visit at all. I know LSU is a really powerhouse school and good for receivers so it was pretty good.”
Head coach Brian Kelly spent time with the highly-touted prospect, making his pitch to him.
“I spent a good bit of time with coach Kelly and he’s a great guy, pretty funny,” Wesco said. “We just talked about what you need to look for whenever you look for a college and how LSU separates from the rest of the colleges. Talk about The Path, which is something LSU uses for their motto.”
Wesco plans to make a decision before his senior season. Oklahoma leads the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine. TCU, Clemson, USC and Tennessee are the other programs with official visits set for this summer. He heads to Los Angeles this weekend.
Bryant Wesco stars at Under Armour Dallas
On3 scouted Wesco at Under Armour Dallas, where he was named MVP by the camp as well as On3 scouting and rankings assistant Cody Bellaire.
“Bryant Wesco was a menace to cover all afternoon. Whether it was 50-50 jump balls, intermediate routes or anything underneath – he was unstoppable,” Bellaire wrote. “The Midlothian (Texas) High standout solidified his MVP performance with the catch of the afternoon, elevating on a jump ball in the end zone during the 1-on-1 portion of the workout. His natural hands, ability to separate at the top of his route and explosiveness to high point the football really shined in what was a talented wide receiver group.”
As a junior, Wesco had 58 receptions for 1,160 yards and 14 touchdowns. He even had a 93-yard touchdown reception and averaged 20 yards a reception.
Wesco is the No. 30 overall prospect and No. 9 wide receiver in the 2024 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Rankings, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is also the No. 6 player in Texas.
On3 rates Bryant Wesco as the No. 26 overall prospect, No. 6 wide receiver and No. 7 player in Texas.
The 6-foot-2, 180-pounder is also a high-level high school triple-jumper and the son of five-time All-American triple jumper Bryant Wesco Sr., who starred at Louisiana Tech. His sister, Bailey, plays soccer at Oklahoma.
