He constructed on that today with the addition of the fastest of them all, Fresno (Calif.) Central East wideout Xavier Worthy.
” It was truly in between Oregon and Michigan,” Worthy informed The Michigan Insider.” It was simply reality that Coach Gattis kept pressing for me and said so hes not going to stop,” Worthy recalled.” Just (having) another Cali individual stating he went out there and did it was reassuring),” stated Worthy. Michigans track coaches will undoubtedly attempt to get him to complete in that sport when he arrives in Ann Arbor, however Worthy isnt yet sure that he will accept.
Michigan got its male. He constructed on that today with the addition of the fastest of them all, Fresno (Calif.) Central East wideout Xavier Worthy.
” It was actually in between Oregon and Michigan,” Worthy informed The Michigan Insider. Last week I sat down with my mama, talked about it, and Michigan was the place for me.”
In the end, it was Gattis perseverance that tipped the scales in the Wolverines favor. He d focused on Worthy as a five-star target long prior to his increase into 247Sports top 100, and declined to yield the battle when it appeared it was leaning the Ducks way.
” It was just truth that Coach Gattis kept pressing for me and said so hes not going to stop,” Worthy recalled. He makes it more than just football. That just reveals how caring he is about everything and about his gamers.”
” And the academics (at Michigan) are truly great. And I like what theyre constructing over there with the offensive scheme.”
Jacksons success in that scheme in 2015 was another selling point for Worthy, but larger than that was the relationship the two built. That was more of a lure than anything Jackson ever stated about football.
” Just (having) another Cali person stating he went out there and did it was reassuring),” stated Worthy. “Its just understanding were from the same state.
Sometime soon their conversation surely turn to whos faster. It almost certainly will with Wilson and Henning. Worthy is more than up for the challenge.
” The last time I lost a race was at the end of my sophomore year in the state race,” he said confidently. “I think I ran like a 10.6 however the winner ran a 10.3 or something like that.”
” This year I was gon na go to 10.3 or 10.2.”
That claim isnt far brought thinking about the 10.55 100 meter he ran as a sophomore. Michigans track coaches will certainly try to get him to complete because sport when he gets here in Ann Arbor, but Worthy isnt yet sure that he will accept. His focus upon getting here will be on reaching a lofty gridiron goal.
“( I see) me breaking all the freshman records,” he said. “Im breaking them all.”
Once again, not an improbable pronouncement when you consider Gattis compares his new protege to previous Alabama star and 2020 preliminary draft choice Jerry Jeudy.
Said Worthy, “Im a long, lanky receiver (who it) quickly. 10.5 100. I capture the ball in space and if any person remains in the way, Im gon na rating regardless (Laughter). I can make a short play a big play. Im a huge play receiver.”
He is.
