Thomas was unable to suit up for his final game against South Carolina. He made the trip to Williams-Brice Stadium but was held out of Saturday night’s contest as he’s dealt with a hamstring injury over the past couple of weeks.
K.J. Herny started in his place and recorded a sack and a quarterback hurry.
As for Thomas, he’s recorded 4.5 sacks and two forced fumbles as he’s enjoyed a much-needed breakout season before he heads off to the NFL.
He’ll get his final chance to wear his Clemson uniform in the team’s bowl game later next month.
