There’s been ample speculation as to the status of Michigan wide receiver signee Xavier Worthy and whether or not he would end up in Ann Arbor as an early-enrollee as planned.
Now we can end that speculation.
Worthy signed his national letter of intent in December along with the rest of the class, and while he intended to arrive in Ann Arbor on Saturday, things did not go as planned. Though his future with the program doesn’t appear to be in question, the four-star speedster announced via Twitter that he will not be among those who are on campus for the Winter 2021 semester, as originally anticipated.
To end all the drama and speculations I am not enrolling early I’ll see y’all on the field ✌🏽🖤

While that’s certainly a setback, there’s no indication that he’ll seek to play elsewhere at this juncture. Though, as with anything in recruiting or college football, that could certainly change on a dime.
Worthy had committed back over the summer, but there was some drama after he visited Alabama for the Iron Bowl at the end of November. He then announced that he would be deciding between the Wolverines and Crimson Tide on signing day. With Josh Gattis retaining his job as offensive coordinator, Worthy chose to stick with the maize and blue, despite it appearing he could lean towards the national championship program.
Michigan’s signees who did not report in January will make their way to campus in June.
