The 6-foot-4, 205-pounder becomes the Wolverines’ first receiver in the 2022 class but joins a long list of four-star prospects Michigan has landed at the position under Jim Harbaugh.

However, Xavier Worthy recently posted a picture of his family decked out in Michigan gear and was answering questions from fans with answers signaling he will still indeed be a Wolverine.
Go Blue!
