SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Entering Saturday’s College Football Playoff semifinal at the Fiesta Bowl, everybody is talking about Ohio State’s Heisman Trophy finalist defensive end Chase Young and how he will impact the game.
Meanwhile, there has not been much buzz about Clemson defensive end Xavier Thomas on the other side, but he hopes to change that and break out with a statement performance for the third-ranked Tigers against the No. 2 Buckeyes at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
“Just going to do the best I can to just get my job done overall and just show the world what I can do,” Thomas told The Clemson Insider on Thursday during the Fiesta Bowl media day at the JW Marriott Camelback Inn.
