Michael Wortham - EWU Swiss Army Knife Commits

[HookedonGriz]

Griz get another intra-conference transfer, a pre-season All American from EWU in Michael Wortham. Was a QB, turned RB, turned slot, turned kick returner….do it all kinda guy. And he’s a good one. Check out this video to get a feel for what he brings. Scored a lot of TDs in his career

This may end up as a great pickup. The kid has lots of talent. Our opponents will have to plan for him.

I love seeing the comments from his now former teammates on his posts. Classic.

Wortham + Montana= Match made in heaven. His return game will be amazing with Montana.

I'm selfishly hoping, he and Monty Gillmsn will be our 2 main kick returners. That could rival Levander and Heidelberger as the most talent GRIZ kick return tandem.

I loved that tandem.

Congrats on the get. My only hope is EWU's football can survive another two years until Best's contract is up.

I was always annoyed at how Wortham was used. Like 90% of the time when we put him in, you knew it was going to be a running play.

Statistically the best kick returner in the BSC.

I told my buddies, Best wasn't a good HC when he got the job. He proved that right, after he had all his own recruits.

I have a feeling he's a good position or assistant coach. Would've been a grand slam hire if Best was a great head coach - he'd probably never leave EWU no matter how successful. Thankfully our AD immediately got rid of Best's contract stipulation that basically granted an automatic one-year extension each year and I'm still high on his basketball hire even if our basketball team is very much rebuilding from the ground up.
