Who knew? After playing with broken hand last season, Texas WR Xavier Worthy healthy in spring camp
After producing a freshman All-America campaign in 2021, Texas wide receiver Xavier Worthy had only one 100-yard game in 2022 and failed to eclipse 50 yards in seven of 13 starts.AUSTIN — The most significant bit of news Texas coach Steve Sarkisian delivered following the team’s first spring practice Monday concerned what had been one of the best kept secrets on the Forty Acres for the past few months.
“He never wanted to sit out, not play,” Sarkisian said. “He came to work. He fought threw it. There were days in practice where we purposely didn’t throw him balls just to take some of the pressure off of it.” A late addition to Texas’ 2021 signing class, Worthy turned in a remarkable debut season two years ago. The Big 12 newcomer of the year set program freshman records in receptions , receiving yards , receiving touchdowns , single-game receptions , single-game yardage and single-game touchdowns .
Of the 53 Football Bowl Subdivision wideouts targeted at least 100 times last year, Worthy ranked 49th in reception percentage . That wounded hand, coupled with the growing pains of redshirt freshman quarterback Quinn Ewers, seemed to have a negative impact on Worthy’s effectiveness as Texas became more of a run-centric offense with veteran halfbacks Bijan Robinson and Roschon Johnson leading the way.
