As we progress through spring camp, you’re going to hear a much different narrative surrounding Clemson football DE Xavier Thomas.
Thomas spent much of the 2019 season struggling with injuries and coming in and out of the doghouse with coaches. In addition to those struggles, he had to adjust to playing a defensive end position in a 3-4 scheme rather than playing in a traditional 4-3 base.
As all those factors came together, Thomas totaled just 27 tackles, eight tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks.
As we head into the 2020 Clemson football season, the Tigers will be relying on Thomas to return to that explosive form more so than ever before.
