Five-star defensive end Xavier Thomas, one of the nation’s top recruits for the 2018 class, has committed to Clemson.
His commitment gives the national champion Tigers the No. 1 and No. 2 prospects in the 2018 class. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence chose Clemson back in December.
Thomas, who is from Florence but will be playing his senior season outside the Palmetto State, promised he would return home and play for Clemson or South Carolina. He made the call for the Tigers on Saturday.
“I’m excited to and proud to say that I’m absoutely 100% ALL IN!” he wrote on Twitter in announcing his commitment.
