2006 Media Guide: Like his classmate, Ryan Williams, is a promising young defensive end who was redshirted last year and then suffered a knee injury in bowl practice that required two surgeries … subsequently sat out winter conditioning and spring practice … began running in May and is expected to take place in fall camp, although he may be running under a yellow flag during the preseason while the medical staff evaluates his condition … has added 16 pounds since last year and has greatly increased his strength during the rehabilitation process … when he does get the green light to return, he will be a very welcome addition to the defensive front … ran a 4.75 in high school and was considered one of the top defensive line prospects in the nation.

2005: Played on the scout team … injured his right knee on the final day of bowl practice before the team broke for the Christmas Holidays … had surgery and sat out winter and spring.

High School: Parade All-American … ranked as the fifth-best strongside defensive end in the nation by Rivals.com … rated the No. 2 prospect overall in the state of New York by Rivals.com … ESPN’s Tom Lemming rated him the No. 21 defensive end in the country … Scout.com lists him as the No. 3 defensive end in the country … collected 67 tackles and five quarterback sacks as a junior … totaled 74 tackles and seven sacks as a senior … also a standout basketball player … timed at 4.75 seconds in the 40-yard dash … is the first Buckeye from upstate New York since Will Smith (2000-03) … played for Jerry Smith.

Personal: Is the son of Doug and Andrea Worthington … enjoys writing music (lyrics) … his father played football at the University of Colorado.
