While he was at UH, he participated in a variety of extracurricular activities, including pitching for the intercollegiate baseball team, which he did from 1964 to 1966.

Worrell ultimately chose to major in communications while in his sophomore year at the University of Houston.

He had a talent for public speaking, and this became clear in his first on-air broadcasting job with UH campus radio station KUHF.

After graduation, he was hired by legendary Houston broadcaster Ray Miller as a news anchor for Houston NBC affiliate KPRC-TV.
