Clemson walk-on Domonique Thomas earns scholarship in camp |
Redshirt sophomore running back
Domonique Thomas has earned a scholarship during Clemson's camp period.
The news came out Saturday through Thomas' family for the Ohatchee, Alabama, native. Thomas' college career to this point includes a six-game run at Union College in Kentucky of the NAIA level where he earned a divisional Offensive Freshman of the Year honor, but in the middle of that spring 2021 season, tragedy struck his family with his mom and grandparents' dying as a result of a powerful tornado. “I’ve dedicated everything to them. Everything I do for the rest of my life is for them,” Thomas told WBRC. Thomas enrolled at Clemson in January. He was a first-team All-State selection in high school with 2,020 rushing yards and 33 touchdowns in 2019. Thomas (5-8 215) has earned the nickname "Quadzilla" while on campus and he is a Pre-Business major. Need a story to feel good about in college football's portal/NIL reality. How about Ohatchee's Domonique "Quadzilla" Thomas earning a full scholarship at Clemson? From tornado tragedy to triumph. Congrats, @NiqueDThomas! pic.twitter.com/p5az9CtvM1
