One could forgive Texas Longhorns sophomore wide receiver Xavier Worthy for believing that he’s arrived after a breakout freshman season including 62 receptions for 981 yards and 12 touchdowns, all single-season freshman records at Texas, for which Worthy was named consensus Freshman All-American, Big 12 Freshman of the Year, and AP Big 12 Freshman of the Year honors, among other sundry recognition.
It was arguably the greatest season by a Longhorns freshman wide receiver, one of the best freshman seasons in school history regardless of position, and merely maintaining that production would put Worthy on the short list of the best wide receivers to ever play at Texas.
