Clemson defensive tackle Bryan Bresee, one of the top defensive players in the country — and one of the top prospects in the 2023 NFL Draft — will miss Saturday’s game vs. No. 10 N.C. State.
ESPN, citing sources with knowledge of the situation, reported that Bresee will miss the fifth-ranked Tigers’ meeting vs. the Wolfpack with a non-football medical issue. He reportedly required blood work and observation but “received good news medically” late in the week.
Bresee is not expected to miss significant time, ESPN reported.
Two weeks ago, Bresee missed Clemson’s game vs. Louisiana Tech following the death of his sister due to brain cancer.
Bresee has eight tackles, two for loss, and half a sack in three games played this season.

The junior was the No. 1 overall player in the 2020 recruiting class, per 247Sports’ Composite rankings. He is considered one of the best available players in next year’s draft should he declare early.
The Sporting News’ Vinnie Iyer, in his latest mock draft, has Bresee being taken 10th overall by the Lions. He is also the 10th-ranked player among draft-eligible players on Iyer’s big board.
