Tough news for a Clemson graduate.

Jacksonville State receiver and former Tiger Brannon Spector is out for the season with an elbow injury.

"Making the decision to transfer to Jax State and finish off my last season of college football was an opportunity I was super excited for," Spector posted on X. "I unfortunately suffered a severe elbow injury that will keep me out for the entire season. As I'm extremely disappointed by this injury, I can't thank Jax State enough for taking a chance on me. I look forward to cheering on and encouraging my teammates for the rest of the season. Go Gamecocks!"
