Xavier Worthy, the talented four-star receiver who signed as part of the 2021 freshman football class with Michigan in December, is reopening his recruitment citing “circumstances beyond” his control.
Worthy, a 6-1, 160-pounder from Fresno, California, announced Thursday on social media that he has submitted a release request from his National Letter of Intent that he signed during the early signing period. He had planned to enroll at Michigan in January, but announced earlier this year that was not happening.
“Since graduating HS, I looked forward to starting my college career at the University of Michigan, however; due to circumstances beyond my control, things did not go as planned — and I have submitted a NLI release request,” Worthy wrote.
