4. Xavier Thomas

KJ Henry was the No. 2 rated defensive end in the nation in the class of 2018.

Xavier Thomas was No. 1.

Thomas came into Clemson and immediately showed the Tiger faithful how special he has the potential of becoming.

Thomas has the quickest burst out of a stance I’ve ever seen. He has the ability to rush the passer like no one else. Of course, he still has some developing to do, but I do believe that we’ll see Xavier Thomas bloom into a player worthy of his recruiting rating.
