Clemson WR announces he will miss Georgia game because of COVID complications
Published:
Clemson sophomore wide receiver Brannon Spector announced via Twitter that he still has lingering effects of COVID-19 and will not be able to play tomorrow night against Georgia.
“After getting COVID in the spring, I’ve been facing some respiratory challenges that have kept me from being where I want to be athletically,” Spector wrote in an Instagram post. “Though I hate that I can’t be out there with my teammates this Saturday, I’m working with the trainers and doctors to do everything I can to return later this season. I continue to make daily improvements with my conditioning and will continue to work my hardest to return as soon as possible.
“I’m thankful to the entire Clemson staff, my teammates, friends and family for all their support as I fight my way back onto the field. I look forward to cheering on my team and being the best teammate I can until the time comes when I can fight alongside them on the field again. GO TIGERS 
Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney recently said Spector was getting better and “that’s encouraging.”
As a sophomore, Spector had 16 catches for 136 yards last season.
