Clemson defensive end Xavier Thomas is slowly introducing himself to the college football world.

Clemson has produced its share of top defensive linemen under Dabo Swinney, and it appears that Thomas has a chance to be the best of the bunch.

Tigers players and coaches have raved about Thomas’ ability since the moment he stepped on campus, and the more opportunities Thomas gets the more plays he makes. Thomas played a season-high 26 snaps in Clemson’s last game against Wake Forest, and his role should continue to increase in the second half of the 2018 season.
