Nine days after Ella’s death, Bryan returned to the Tigers’ defensive line and helped Clemson to a double-overtime win over Wake Forest. At the end of this story, Bryan acknowledged his sister in a beautiful way.
“Just having this support and … my family able to come here, just having them around me means the world,” Bresee said. “It’s tough but I know she’s up there watching me.”
Clemson has honored Ella’s fight by wearing “Ella Strong” shirts during pregame warmups this season.
Bresee and the Tigers will be in action again on Saturday evening against NC State. Kickoff is at 7:30 p.m. ET.
