Former Texas Longhorns star wide receiver and current Kansas City Chiefs star Xavier Worthy was arrested Friday night on an assault charge.
According to the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office jail record, 21-year-old Xavier Worthy was arrested on March 7, 2025, in Georgetown, Texas.
It specifically refers to assault on a family or household member, and “is committed by intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly impeding the normal breathing or circulation of the blood of the person by applying pressure to the person’s throat or neck or by blocking the person’s nose or mouth.”
According to Texas law, this is a third-degree felony assault charge.
Worthy was a two-time First-Team All-Big 12 wide receiver for the Texas Longhorns in 2021 and 2023, before UT departed for the SEC last summer. He was a second-team All-Big 12 pick in 2022. Worthy was then the 28th pick in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft.
In his rookie season, Worthy recorded 59 receptions for 638 yards, 104 rushing yards and 9 total touchdowns as a rookie. In the playoffs, he became Kansas City’s leading receiver, totaling a team-leading 19 receptions for 287 yards and 3 touchdowns in the Chiefs’ three playoff games. Two of his touchdowns came in the Super Bowl loss to the Eagles.
This comes about one year after an arrest warrant was issued against wide receiver Rashee Rice for his involvement in a six-car crash on March 30, 2024.
