Things have not necessarily gone as expected for Clemson football fans in terms of what they thought about Xavier Thomas.
Thomas, who was ranked as the No. 1 player in the nation coming out of high school, was expected to come into the Clemson football program and automatically be the next greatest pass-rusher.
While Thomas had to share time as a freshman behind Clelin Ferrell and Austin Bryant, he still managed to come away with 3.5 sacks and 8.5 tackles for loss, as well as a forced fumble. Clemson football fans loved what they saw out of the talented freshman and expectations were through the roof for him entering his sophomore season.
