IMG Academy defensive end Xavier Thomas made his decision today, and the Clemson football fans have much to talk about before the Spring game begins. And Twitter will continue talking about this commitment until signing day is over.
Thomas is regarded as the best player in the 2018 class by ESPN and is ranked second, third, and sixth, respectively by 247sports, Scout and Rivals football recruiting sites.
Biggest decision of my lifetime, my recruitment is OVER. I'm 100% ALL IN ‼️🐅🐾 This is only the beginning #WE2DEEP18 @ETitusThomas pic.twitter.com/RQJ7tr32BY

The Florence, SC native and former Wilson High star was thought to be leaning towards a commitment to South Carolina, and he attended their Spring game last weekend. But today, he selected the Tigers despite having a previous future commitment date set for his birthday, on December 20.

As I told some1 last night who told me Xavier Thomas was committing to Clemson 2day, he's a future 1st-round pick no matter where he plays.

Great idea, but I think it’s too late.
@atxlete damn I hate that you didn't come to USC. But I wish you the best of luck. In tearing your ACL and having a career ending injury

Xavier Thomas with a mild reaction to a “harsh” tweet.

Of course, a verbal commitment isn’t binding, so a lot can happen before Thomas puts ink to paper.
