Xavier Worthy may be leaving the Longhorns
As we've been basking in the afterglow of another win in The Game, losing Cade was an inevitable result of that epic win, and I wish him all the best. Maybe we'll see him again next year in the Big Ten Championship.
Meanwhile, some teams like Texas have been hearing rumors about top players like Xavier Worthy leaving who were getting the ball. He was the leading receiver on his team with nearly identical stats to our leading receiver, Ronnie Bell.
- Worthy: 676 yards on 53 receptions
- Bell: 687 yards on 51 receptions
We have fantastic team chemistry, and it's players like Bell that put the Team first, are great blockers as well as pass catchers and ultimately make the team successful.
Worthy has a big name coach, a big name QB, yet he recently deleted all mention of his current team from his social media. Glad we've got our guys.

Michigan could use Xavier without a doubt.
December 1st, 2022 at 9:27 PM ^
Since when is Steve Sarkisian a big name coach?
Popular name, sure.
December 1st, 2022 at 9:39 PM ^
IDK maybe because Sark was the OC during the Pete Carroll years?
Or maybe because when Sark went to the Raiders in 04 as QB coach, that shit club was still 8th in the league in passing?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I mean, I'd say 9 letters in a last name is longer than average at least
December 2nd, 2022 at 9:30 AM ^
Steve "Cuttysark"-isian
December 2nd, 2022 at 1:11 PM ^
Ever since = Texas is back became a reality.
so to answer your question. He isn’t.
December 1st, 2022 at 10:07 PM ^
Texas fans on Reddit seem to think he's off to USC. They've been continuing to tamper with players not in the portal
December 2nd, 2022 at 8:34 AM ^
Tampering, you say? Karma bites Texas right square in the ass
December 1st, 2022 at 10:13 PM ^
Yep. Besides, OSU can spell his name without having to replace M.
December 1st, 2022 at 8:23 PM ^
USC is the rumor.
December 1st, 2022 at 8:25 PM ^
This makes too much sense and it hurts.
December 1st, 2022 at 8:30 PM ^
Better USC than Ohio State.
December 1st, 2022 at 9:06 PM ^
WOTS is that Xavier, during a visit, brushed shoulders with an Ohio D lineman and knocked him over.
December 1st, 2022 at 9:17 PM ^
I thought that was Ferris?
December 1st, 2022 at 9:30 PM ^
I hear his mom likes Miami.
/ducks
December 2nd, 2022 at 8:18 AM ^
No, that's Oregon.
December 1st, 2022 at 8:24 PM ^
A player to be named later for Tarik Black.
December 1st, 2022 at 8:24 PM ^
Bring it on home Xavier! As long as you like winning and blocking to go along with some bombs.
December 1st, 2022 at 9:24 PM ^
He absolutely does not.
December 1st, 2022 at 8:26 PM ^
While the portal is a really strange development in college football, I will defer to the coaches we have to decide who we need/want.
December 1st, 2022 at 8:59 PM ^
That's nice of you to allow that.
December 1st, 2022 at 8:26 PM ^
Reasons for his departure are why he won't come here. Let him go to a school that throws on 3rd and 2 to pad his stats. I have one that comes to mind. We'll just focus on winning with a complete team.
December 1st, 2022 at 9:34 PM ^
Yes. But usc is building a juggernaut and in year one they're in the playoff. Now, if they get destroyed, fair enough. But we did last year too
December 1st, 2022 at 10:21 PM ^
Have you seen Oklahoma play for years? They will be elite but when playing another elite teams, they have a tough time winning those games.
December 2nd, 2022 at 9:02 AM ^
Lincoln Riley does not believe in defense in the same way Kirk Ferentz no longer believes in offense. At best they will be 1/2 a juggernaut.
Don't even think they are particularly great this year as they haven't beaten a top 20 SP+ team
December 2nd, 2022 at 12:48 AM ^
Ya, I remember when both penn state and Nebraska thought hey would be juggernauts in the big ten.
December 1st, 2022 at 8:28 PM ^
Is gattis being gone a pro or a con now for him….
December 1st, 2022 at 10:20 PM ^
Gattis was like a father figure to him.
December 2nd, 2022 at 5:27 AM ^
Because Gattis was hooking up with his mom?
December 1st, 2022 at 8:28 PM ^
Diva. He had to be talked out of leaving after his freshman. Texas deserves it for tampering when he was committed here. Rumor was USC was trying the minute Riley became HC. They deserve each other.
December 1st, 2022 at 9:14 PM ^
He's a diva because he came to Michigan to enroll and admissions delayed his enrollment while he was living here and his position coach slept with his mom. He decides to enroll at Texas after a few months in AA but he's a diva? You serious?
December 1st, 2022 at 9:31 PM ^
I think he's saying he's a diva for what has transpired while at Texas.
I think that because he didn't mention any of the things you did when he called him a diva.
December 1st, 2022 at 11:29 PM ^
Did Gattis really sleep with his Mom? Like for real?
because that seems like the kind of rumor that would get out of hand but was never true.
December 2nd, 2022 at 9:07 AM ^
Pics of his mom? May be willing to TOFTT here
December 2nd, 2022 at 5:27 AM ^
Dude stop believing those stupid conspiracy theories. Do you really think Jim would allow Gattis to coach here if he slept with a recruits mother? If you heatd that, im sure other coaches have heard the same BS. He's a Diva because he believes he should get the ball every play. Do some real research. He's a Diva because dude doesn't put in work. He's the exact same size he was when he reported his freshman yr. He had to be talked off the cliff last yr, only to be doing the same thing this yr.
December 1st, 2022 at 8:28 PM ^
Constant free agency makes my head hurt.
December 1st, 2022 at 8:30 PM ^
No thanks, baggage and flight risk
December 1st, 2022 at 9:15 PM ^
What baggage does he have?
December 2nd, 2022 at 12:55 AM ^
Probably a couple checked bags and a carry on. Can get expensive fast.
December 1st, 2022 at 8:37 PM ^
Yes, he was VERY unhappy with how much he was targeted this year. and there was real talk he was leaving. But (apparently) Steve Sarkasian has smoothed all the ruffled feathers. I made sure I put that apparently there.
December 1st, 2022 at 11:48 PM ^
Yes, but did Sarkisian sleep with his Mom? 🤔
December 2nd, 2022 at 12:47 PM ^
....and would that help or hurt?
December 1st, 2022 at 8:37 PM ^
And here's the vicious cycle this will create. Don't get enough touches, leave. Don't know the offense on your new team, don't get enough touches. Teams that try to spread the ball around too much to appease everyone lose. Losing teams will eventually stop drawing recruits once NIL stabilizes.
December 1st, 2022 at 11:34 PM ^
It’s almost like multi-million dollar coaches now have the terrible responsibility of setting proper expectations with recruits, players, and their families. Maybe clear communication and treating people like adults.
December 1st, 2022 at 8:44 PM ^
I would NIL a beef pasty straight his way for a verbal
December 1st, 2022 at 9:01 PM ^
That would work for me.
December 1st, 2022 at 11:43 PM ^
Me too!
December 1st, 2022 at 8:50 PM ^
As of today, he says on his Twitter bio that he is "WR @texasfootball" so that may have just been a mood swing.
December 1st, 2022 at 8:51 PM ^
Must be sick of singing that stupid Texas songs for boosters
