One-time Clemson starting outfielder Tristan Bissetta has found his next stop.
The veteran left-handed hitter announced Saturday that he's transferring to Ole Miss for his final year of eligibility, saying he's 'super blessed for this opportunity' and 'ready to get to work.'
Bissetta spent the past three seasons at Clemson, where he developed into a key bat in the Tigers' lineup. The former JL Mann High School standout broke out in 2024, batting .298 with seven home runs and 34 RBIs. However, his senior campaign was cut short due to injury, and he finished the season hitting .227 over 75 at-bats with three homers and 16 RBIs in 31 games.
He owns a career .286 average with a .487 slugging percentage.
After entering the portal, Bissetta shared a heartfelt message to Clemson.
'These past four years mark the most impactful time in my life,' he wrote. 'I was able to fulfill a lifelong dream by putting on the Tiger uniform… This place gave me my best friends, unforgettable memories, and a place to always call home.'

Clemson star wide receiver Bryant Wesco Jr. named a top player to watch for 2027 NFL draft
Clemson star wide receiver Bryant Wesco Jr. named a top player to watch for 2027 NFL draft The 2025 college football season hasn't even kicked off yet, but Clemson wide receiver Bryant Wesco Jr. is already drawing long-term attention from NFL scouts and analysts. Despite being just one year into his college career, the rising sophomore is already being viewed as a top prospect for the 2027 NFL Draft. A former consensus top-35 recruit out of Midlothian (Texas) High School, Wesco wasted no time making an impact in his true freshman season at Clemson. He led the Tigers in yards per reception (17.3), finishing the year with 41 catches for 708 yards and five touchdowns across 12 games, including 11 starts. His breakout year earned him freshman All-American honors from multiple outlets, including Pro Football Focus (PFF). PFF's Max Chadwick recently spotlighted Wesco as one of college football's most intriguing future NFL Draft prospects. 'Wesco's 707 receiving yards trailed only Jeremiah Smith and Ryan Williams among true freshmen wideouts while his 2.21 yards per route run were fifth and led the Tigers this season,' Chadwick wrote. He also pointed to Wesco's dominant performance in Clemson's ACC Championship victory over SMU as a defining moment. In that game, Wesco hauled in eight passes for 142 yards and two touchdowns — setting a new ACC Championship Game record for receiving yards by a freshman and tying for the second-most by any player in the game's history. Wesco's production didn't stop there. The ACC title game was one of three 100-yard receiving performances for him in 2024, making him just the fifth true freshman in Clemson history to accomplish that feat since the NCAA granted permanent freshman eligibility in 1972. His 17.3 yards per catch marked the highest average by a Tiger with at least 40 receptions since Tee Higgins in 2019 (19.8), and the best by a Clemson freshman with 40 or more catches since Justyn Ross in 2018 (21.7). Both PFF and ESPN are bullish on Wesco's future heading into the 2025 season, ranking him among the top receivers in the country. PFF placed him at No. 7 among returning wideouts, while ESPN slotted him at No. 8 — further evidence of the high expectations surrounding the young Tiger. Alongside fellow sophomore standout T.J. Moore, Wesco is expected to be a focal point of Clemson's passing game this season. And while there's still a long road ahead before the 2027 NFL Draft, Wesco is already turning heads with his elite combination of speed, body control, and big-play ability Contact us @Clemson_Wire on X, and like our page on Facebook for ongoing coverage of Clemson Tigers news and notes, plus opinions.

MSU target, 3-star DL Gavin Neil commits to Boston College following official visit
MSU target, 3-star DL Gavin Neil commits to Boston College following official visit A Michigan State defensive lineman target in the 2026 class has committed to a program the Spartans will lineup against this upcoming season. Gavin Neil of Chicago Heights, Ill. announced his commitment to Boston College on Sunday. The commitment -- which he announced via a post on social media platform X -- to the Eagles from Neil comes after he took an official visit to Boston College this past weekend. Neil is a three-star defensive lineman in the 2026 class, and holds a recruiting rating of 86 on 247Sports. He ranks as the No. 140 defensive lineman and No. 34 player from Illinois in the class. Michigan State was Neil's only other power four offer at this point in the recruitment, and the Spartans were the previous favorite to land his commitment. Boston College, though, entered the mix this past week with an offer and a quick official visit to get him on their recruiting board. Neil was supposed to visit Michigan State next week but it is assumed that he will not be making that visit now.

Texas A&M women's team closes track season strong with podium finish at NCAA Outdoors
Texas A&M women's team closes track season strong with podium finish at NCAA Outdoors The Texas A&M women's track and field team has consistently ranked in the top five all season long and, among elite programs, finished third at the 2025 NCAA Outdoor Championships. Overtaking the Georgia Bulldogs, who ran away with the point total, was always going to be a tall order, especially with the next closest team trailing by 26 points. That left a fierce battle for second place, where the USC Trojans edged out the Aggies, 47 to 43, thanks to standout individual performances and a season-best showing in the 4x100m relay. Junior triple jumper Winny Bii became the Aggies' lone NCAA Champion of the day. Her opening jump of 13.96m (45-9.75) held up throughout the competition, earning Texas A&M its first-ever NCAA title in the women's triple jump. Debora Cherono, Jasmine Montgomery, Jaiya Covington, and Sofia Yakushina all scored key points, helping solidify the team's top-five finish. Texas A&M also notched two top-four relay results, second in the 4x100m (42.89) and fourth in the 4x400m (3:27.11), both marking season-best times. While the ultimate goal remains a national title, finishing third in the season was a strong and promising result.
