CHANDLER WORTHY: ‘You've got to get back up and work harder'

Chandler Worthy, a slot receiver from Griffin High School, said he signed with Troy State because they are all about speed and that's what he's all about. He also plans to run track for the Trojans in the 100-meter and 200 events.

Enjoying the Signing Day festivities with many of his teammates at the Fox Sports Grill in Atlantic Station, he said he likely would have signed with Marshall or Appalachian State had he not committed his future to Troy.

He said he learned a lot during the recruiting process. He strained his hamstring in February last year. The calls from some of the coaches at the major colleges, including Mississippi and Oklahoma State, dried up.

"When you get knocked down you've got to get back up and work harder," he said.
