Michigan WR signee Xavier Worthy requests release from NLI, is linked to Texas

Following months of speculation, Michigan Wolverines signee Xavier Worthy requested a release from his National Letter of Intent on Thursday.

Why does that matter for the Texas Longhorns? Not only did new head coach Steve Sarkisian recruit Worthy with the Alabama Crimson Tide, including getting him on campus in Tuscaloosa after Worthy committed to the Wolverines, the consensus four-star wide receiver was widely linked to the Longhorns after Sarkisian took the job.

So watch out for Texas as Sarkisian looks to add more explosiveness to Andre Coleman’s position room.
