Article: Navy QB Will Worth finally demonstrating skills he showed at Newsome
Good article about Will Worth. It is great to see he's gotten this shot for his senior year.
I'm on the Navy bandwagon. I think they can win that NY6 bowl game with Worth.

Navy QB Will Worth finally demonstrating skills he showed at Newsome

TAMPA — In a profession laced with sordidness and slick talkers, he has remained smudge-free. Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo, whose name carries even more respect than syllables, may evade a question now and again, but he won’t lie.
So when he’s asked if quarterback Will Worth — the seldom-used backup thrust into a starting role out of necessity — has surprised him, the answer is yes. And yes.
“I hoped that he would play well,” Niumatalolo said days before the Midshipmen visit USF. “But he’s playing a lot better than I thought, and I’m really, really excited for him.”
That makes one surprised observer. Finding No. 2 may take some doing, especially among those who saw Worth during his days as Newsome High quarterback, middle linebacker, punter, captain, cornerstone and conscience.

“Even when he was in youth football, we used to say he had ‘it,’ ” said Newsome assistant Rob Vetzel, who began coaching Worth when the Midshipmen senior was a 12-year-old force of prepubescence with the Pinecrest Pilots. “He just made everybody around him better. He put the team on his shoulders and loved it.”
Former Newsome teammate Donovan Geter — a walk-on USF receiver — is only surprised in the sense he presumed Worth would play linebacker in college. But the agility? The ruggedness? The ability to complete a spiral over the top to an unsuspecting secondary? Nah, Geter has seen it all before.
“I remember there was a time where we ran like, a wedge, and the line didn’t move,” Geter recalled. “The offensive and defensive lines just kind of smacked, they were at a stalemate. And Will Worth ran up the middle, and then the line definitely started moving. I was like, ‘He really just moved the line by himself.’ ”
