Bryan Bresee’s goals heading into the 2020 season were team goals -- not personal. After all, he judges success on what his team accomplishes and pays little attention to the awards and honors received by individuals. However, a big honor came his way last week, catching him totally by surprise.
Bresee was named as the ACC Defensive Rookie of the Year in the ACC. Bresee becomes only the second Clemson player to earn ACC Defensive Rookie of the Year honors since the honor was first awarded in 2007, joining fellow defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence’s selection in 2016.
