Xavier Thomas
2018 DE Xavier Thomas of Florence announced Tuesday night he will sign next year with either USC or Clemson. Thomas, who is transferring from Wilson to IMG Academy in Bradenton, FL in January, eliminated five others from his list in deciding to go with one of the in-state programs. He made multiple unofficial visits to both schools during the season.
“I appreciate all the schools and coaches who have recruited me,” Thomas wrote on Twitter. “Leaving my home, my family and my state to attend IMG makes it hard to leave, but it makes it an even easier matter when it is time to return to my home, my family and my state once I graduate from IMG. So, after much talk with my parents, I am committing to returning to my home state of South Carolina to play for either USC or Clemson.
“I do not know which school I will be attending yet. That is a decision I will make next year after following both schools athletic programs’ progress, accessing each school’s educational opportunities, and more importantly, after careful consideration of my family’s feedback.”
Thomas also had Ohio State, Florida State, Georgia, Alabama and Florida on his short list before deciding to go with one of the in-state programs.
