2023 Fantasy Outlook
If not for inconsistent quarterback play during the 2022 season, Worthy could have been one of the best wide receivers in all of college football. With even worse play at the position in 2021, Worthy had 62 catches for 981 yards and 12 touchdowns during his freshman season. Following that up with just 60 catches for 760 yards and nine touchdowns seems like a disappointment, but it just means that he perseveres through whatever is happening around him. His production is expected to see an uptick this year when you consider that Bijan Robinson has moved on to the NFL. In previous years, it didn't make much sense for Texas to not hand the ball off to Bijan, but now the Longhorns can focus more on the passing game. While the team added Georgia transfer Adonai Mitchell, Worthy should remain the target for quarterback Quinn Ewers. The Texas offense is absolutely loaded this season with 10 returning starters, which is a big reason why they are the preseason favorites to win the Big 12 Conference. Read Past Outlooks
Bound for NFL
Worthy announced Tuesday that he will forgo his remaining eligibility at Texas to enter the 2024 NFL Draft, Jordan Reid of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Worthy will bolt for the NFL after he finished his junior season with 75 catches for 1,014 yards and five touchdowns over 14 games. The 6-foot-1, 172-pound Worhty could be joined by fellow Texas receivers Adonai Mitchell and Jordan Whittington in the upcoming draft pool.

2022 Fantasy Outlook
For Worthy to come in as a true freshman and establish himself as the clear alpha among a talented Longhorn receiver group is plenty impressive. He led the Big 12 in receiving touchdowns with 12 and came up just short of 1,000 yards. What’s scary is that Worthy can easily reach another level in 2022. He enters this year as the clear No.1 and won’t have to work his way into that role. There’s also the reality that Texas’ upgraded quarterback situation with Quinn Ewers at the helm will take the offense to new heights. Worthy won’t last much past the first round in drafts.
