#3. Versus Alabama

Xavier Worthy had one of his best performances for Texas in the Longhorns' 34-24 win over the No. 3 Alabama Crimson Tide in 2023 at the Bryant-Denny Stadium which ended then-coach Nick Saban's team's 21-game winning streak. With the score tied at 3-3, Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers launched a 44-yard pass that was caught for a touchdown by Worthy.

Worthy finished the game with 75 yards on five receptions resulting in one touchdown.

#2. Versus the Kansas Jayhawks

During his freshman season, Xavier Worthy tallied 152 yards on 14 receptions resulting in three touchdowns against the Kansas Jayhawks. The 14 receptions were the second highest registered by a Texas freshman and the three touchdowns were a freshman single-game record. It was his fourth 100-yard receiving game of the season making him the only Texas freshman to have ever managed more than two in a season.

#1. Red River Rivalry

In his first Red River Rivalry against the Oklahoma Sooners in 2021, Xavier Worthy had his best game for the Longhorns. He tallied 261 yards on nine receptions resulting in two touchdowns.

The 261 yards was the second most in a game in program history and was a freshman record. It was also the best output for a Texas player against Oklahoma while the nine receptions were also the fourth-highest for a freshman. As a result of his stellar freshman season, he was awarded true freshman All-American honors by the Football Writers Association of America.

During his postgame news conference after the AFC championship game win, Xavier Worthy took a shot at the Buffalo Bills for trading his pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Now, the former Texas Longhorns standout is headed to his first Super Bowl after a sensational rookie season in the NFL for the Kansas City Chiefs.
