Steve Sarkisian shares what Xavier Worthy showed amid injury problems in 2022

Texas wide receiver Xavier Worthy is one of the best wide receivers in college football. Despite, as head coach Steve Sarkisian recently revealed, playing with a broken hand, Worthy managed 60 catches for 760 yards and nine touchdowns.

Now, Sarkisian shared what Worthy showed amid those injury issues in 2022.

“Any time you’re a receiver and you’re playing with a broken hand, I mean, that’s a pretty important aspect of your game,” Steve Sarkisian said. “And that guy never wanted to sit out, not play. He came to work. He fought through it. There were days in practice where we purposefully didn’t throw him balls just to take some of the pressure off of it.”

According to Sarkisian, Worthy played with a broken hand for “essentially the second half of the season.”

After the season ended, there was speculation that Worthy could transfer. Luckily, for the Longhorns, he decided to stay. Now, Steve Sarkisian expects his excellent wide receiver to even take the next step forward.

“But, I think we’re going to see a version of Xavier Worthy that’s going to be dramatically different now that he’s healthy.”

Steve Sarkisian announced limited players for spring ball

Texas is back at practice, though several players are going to be limited in practice. Joe Cook of Inside Texas shared the list of players who Steve Sarkisian says are going to be limited.

“Steve Sarkisian says Jonathon Brooks, Jalen Catalon, Jaylon Guilbeau, Derion Gullette, Cole Hutson, Maalik Murphy, Isaiah Neyor, and Keilan Robinson will be limited this spring or were limited today,” tweeted Cook.

“Robinson is nursing a strain, per Sark.”
