Clemson Football: Xavier Thomas will return to explosive form in 2020
The Clemson football program will be relying on DE Xavier Thomas more so than ever before and there’s no reason to think he won’t deliver.
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.
