Wide receiver Xavier Worthy, the No. 61 prospect in the 2021 class, announced Thursday that he has called for the release of the national letter of intent he signed with Michigan in December.
Worthy of a 6-foot 1 and 165-pound receiver from Central East High School in Fresno, California, he was the second-highest potential in the Michigan class behind quarterback JJ McCarthy.

In his statement, Worthy said he had wanted to start his college football career in Michigan, “however; due to circumstances beyond my control, things did not go as planned …”
Digne was considered one of the fastest recruits in the 2021 class, and Michigan maintained a late effort from Alabama to sign him. He was supposed to enroll in early January, but that never happened, and Worthy now says he doesn’t want to go into detail about what happened to Michigan until he chose a new school.
Michigan also had great receiver Giles Jackson who entered the transfer portal two weeks ago. Jackson is also from California and announced Sunday that he would be moving to Washington.
