ARLINGTON, Texas — There’s an X-factor emerging for the 2021 Texas Longhorns offense.
Fresno (Calif.) Central wide receiver Xavier Worthy already has the merchandise on sale — a stylized X with a lightning bolt over the phrase “The Real Flash” marks his nascent apparel line.
A late addition to the 2021 Texas recruiting class who originally signed with Michigan, Worthy hasn’t even put on pads yet after arriving in Austin for summer conditioning, but he’s quickly created buzz around his potential.
When new head coach Steve Sarkisian took over for the Longhorns, one of his first comments about roster construction was noting the glut of wide receivers on the roster — a full 15 percent of the available scholarship were devoted to the position.
