Jake Worthen is a disruptive, high-IQ linebacker who keeps showing up in big moments
In the 2025 season, William & Mary linebacker Jake Worthen played all 12 games and logged 13 tackles, 2.0 sacks, an interception, a forced fumble, and two pass breakups, plus a clutch onside-kick recovery in the Tribe’s comeback win at Campbell[11]. At 6-3 and 220 pounds, he brings length, size, and a proven knack for splash plays, with background as a defensive back and quarterback that hints at real instincts and versatility[4][8]. He also pairs on-field production with strong academic credentials, which is usually a good sign for coachability and reliability[4][11].
