Clemson forward Carter Welling announces return for another season
Clemson star forward Carter Welling announces whether he will return to the program or not.
Carter Welling is set to return to Clemson basketball next season. The 6-foot-11 forward announced on Instagram Monday that he’ll be back with the Tigers for the 2026-27 campaign, keeping a key piece of the roster in place. “Staying in Tiger Town 🐅,” Welling wrote.
There’s still uncertainty surrounding his availability, though. Welling is working his way back from a torn ACL suffered during Clemson’s ACC Tournament win over Wake Forest on March 11, and there’s no clear timeline for when he’ll return. His role next season remains unclear, but Clemson at least knows he won’t be heading elsewhere.
The transfer portal closes Tuesday. Before the injury, Welling was a steady contributor. He played in 32 games, making 24 starts, and averaged 10.
2 points and 5. 4 rebounds while shooting 49. 3 percent from the field.
