He excels in coverage in the flats/running with slots downfield and plays a lot bigger then he is when in the box. His latest performance was a 14 tackle and 4 for loss game on Friday night while adding a fumble recovery as well.

He is another high tackle kid that is always around the ball and has a knack for making big plays with this past weekend being no different. He went for 20+ tackles while seemingly everywhere on the field. As he continues to grow, develop and pack on more muscle to his frame, he should have colleges showing interest and coming his way through his final year of his prep career. u003c/emu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-651c77796efde"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["115489"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"u003cemu003eWorthy is truly an elite athlete on both sides of the ball and should be a power five starter for multiple years at the college level. He is a mid-three star and 12 offer kid committed to Washington State. Last week he scored on both sides of the ball, and was a lockdown corner on a island on the outside. He has elite length, range and ball skills for the corner position and is a big time get for the Cougs. u003c/emu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-651c77796f025"} /-->
