Wide receiver Xavier Worthy, the 61st prospect in the 2021 class, announced on Thursday that he demanded the release of the national letter of intent he signed with Michigan in December.
Worthy, a 6-foot-1, 165-pound receiver from Central East High School in Fresno, California, was the second-highest Michigan-ranked behind quarterback JJ McCarthy.

In his statement, Worthy said he was looking forward to starting his college football career in Michigan, “however; due to circumstances beyond my control, things did not go as planned …”
Worthy was considered one of the fastest recruits in the 2021 class, and Michigan retained a late effort from Alabama to score him. He was scheduled 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 chooses a new school.
Michigan also had wide receiver Giles Jackson, who entered the transfer portal two weeks ago. Jackson is also from California and announced on Sunday that he will move to Washington.
