Central California native and Central High School alum Xavier Worthy has been selected by the Kansas City Chiefs in the 2024 NFL Draft.

The Chiefs traded up to select Texas wide receiver Xavier Worthy with the No. 28 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft on Thursday night in Detroit after completing a deal with the Buffalo Bills.

The reigning Super Bowl champions received the 28th overall pick, a fourth-rounder (No. 133) and a seventh-rounder (248), in exchange for sending the No. 32 pick to the Bills, along with a third-round pick (95) and a seventh-round selection (221).

Worthy’s career with the Texas Longhorns ended with a College Football Playoff semi-final appearance against the Washington Huskies, who were headed by former Bulldogs head coach Kalen DeBoer.

Xavier Worthy started all 14 games of the Longhorns’ 2023 season and led the team with 75 receptions, 1,014 receiving yards, five receiving touchdowns, and one punt return touchdown.

On the journey to the NFL Draft, Worthy broke the NFL Combine‘s 40-yard dash record by setting a run time of 4.21 seconds.

He’s the first player from Central California taken in the first round since.
