Whoever winds up being QB1 for the Longhorns this year, Xavier Worthy is primed to be the top target on the team. The talented wide receiver from Texas, has once again been recognized for his talent on the football field.
For the second year in a row, Worthy has earned a spot on the prestigious Biletnikoff Award watch list. This award is given annually to the most outstanding receiver in college football.
The Biletnikoff Award is not limited to wide receivers alone. Any player in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) who is receiving, including tight ends and running backs, is eligible for this honor. It truly highlights the diverse skill sets and playmaking abilities across the entire offensive lineup.
Worthy had an impressive sophomore season in 2022, making 60 receptions for a total of 760 yards and nine touchdowns. As he enters his junior year, he is poised to build upon those impressive numbers. With the talented quarterback Quinn Ewers leading the Texas offense, Worthy is expected to emerge as the team's primary receiver this upcoming season. The chemistry between Ewers and Worthy promises to be a force to be reckoned with.
The anticipation is high as we await the announcement of the Biletnikoff Award semifinalists on November 20th. Will Worthy secure his spot among the top 10 contenders for this prestigious award? Only time will tell, but his exceptional performance and undeniable talent certainly make him a strong candidate.
