No. 4 Xavier Worthy, junior
Worthy can wow you with his speed and the draft combine will be great for him. He’ll likely run in the 4.3s and his draft stock with rise, but at the moment it seems to be on the decline.
With all of that speed, Worthy should be a deep threat, yet he’s just averaging 12.7 yards per reception. He leads the team with 49 grabs for 620 yards and has four touchdowns, but it’s a loaded wide receiver class, so he’s mostly dropped out of the first-round conversation.
Still, I’d anticipate Worthy will leave, run a great 40-yard dash, and be selected near the top of the second round. Sark will lose his No. 1, No. 2 No. 3, and No. 4 receivers with Ja’Tavion Sanders likely headed for the NFL and Jordan Whittington out of eligibility.
