The No. 1 recruit in the country for the class of 2018 —- according to ESPN —- Xavier Thomas is usually the one causing damage on the field with his nasty play at defensive end. However, this time he was the victim of a serious car crash that totaled his truck. He shared the pictures via his Twitter:
Deer ran out, swerved, hit a ditch, flipped over & hit a tree. No seatbelt, Blessed 🙏🏼to walk away from this with just bruises and scratches pic.twitter.com/hCe5MhvJKb

It must have been some impressive piece of driving to avoid hitting the deer, but this is yet another reminder of why everyone should be wearing seat belts at all times. The 6'3", 269-pounder undoubtedly got a little help from his vehicle being so big and being able to take a lot of impact, but this could have ended so much worse. Thankfully it didn't and everyone seems to be alright.
