CLEMSON – Troy Stellato’s plan is to have surgery, get healthy, and become the third-down option the Tigers are looking for.
Stellato enjoyed a breakout campaign in 2023 after being besieged by injuries for most of his first two-plus seasons at Clemson. He recorded 38 catches for 321 yards and a touchdown in 580 snaps over 12 games (six starts), and he is hopeful that campaign is the springboard to bigger and better things.
But first is labrum surgery. Head coach Dabo Swinney noted last week that Stellato will participate in this week’s Wednesday scrimmage, then undergo surgery later in the week so he will be ready for the 2024 campaign.
