Worley, who had previously accepted an invitation to the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl, now appears headed to the Shrine Game – which is considered to be the No. 2 all-star game for NFL draft prospects, behind the Senior Bowl – instead, as both games are scheduled to be played on Jan. 20.
One of seven Buckeyes currently slated to play in postseason all-star games – Jalyn Holmes and Tyquan Lewis are participating in the Senior Bowl, while Michael Hill and Marcus Baugh are participating in the NFLPA Bowl – Worley is projected as the No. 222 overall prospect in the 2018 NFL draft class and as a sixth- or seventh-round pick by NFLDraftScout.com.
