American Stories: Worth The Wait

Navy's dynamic quarterback spent three years buried on the depth chart, but has more than proved his worth to the Midshipmen as a senior

It's never too late to become a breakout star in college football.

Navy quarterback Will Worth is this year's Cinderella man in college football. During his first three years, the Midshipmen's 6-1, 210-pound senior quarterback had been a third-stringer behind record-setting Keenan Reynolds and Tago Smith and was scheduled to be the holder on field goals and extra points.

Worth got an unexpected chance to start after Reynolds graduated and Smith tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee during the season-opener.
