Breaking: Oklahoma QB General Booty Involved In Crash Due To….

The Sooners are seeing more transfer portal news.
Rotational quarterback General Booty entered the transfer portal on Thursday, 247Sports Matt Zenitz and Chris Hummer have confirmed.
Booty becomes the fifth scholarship player to leave Oklahoma by way of the transfer portal in the post-spring window. He joins linebacker Shane Whitter, defensive back/linebacker Justin Harrington, cornerback Jasiah Wagoner and wide receiver Gavin Freeman.
After playing high school football at San Antonio (Texas) Cornerstone Christian and San Juan Capistrano (Calif.) J Serra Catholic, Booty went the junior college route. In his one season at Tyler Junior College, Booty threw for 3,115 yards, 25 touchdowns and 11 interceptions.
The former Allen Eagle was second in the junior college ranks in passing yards per game and fourth in passing touchdowns for Tyler, who went 7-5 in 2021 and finished second in the Southwest Junior College Football Conference. In one of his games, Booty passed for 528 yards and eight touchdowns.
After his dominant year, Booty committed to the Sooners in May 2022 to join them for their transitional season in the Brent Venables era. He was set to be part of former offensive coordinator Jeff Lebby’s offense and help bring depth to the position group. However, Booty has been behind highly-touted quarterbacks Dillon Gabriel and Jackson Arnold, so he hasn’t been able to muster much playing time behind the group.
His most recent action came in the Sooners’ spring game where Booty ran for a 32-yard touchdown on the opening drive of the second half. He made appearances in the season opener in 2022 against TCU and in the season opener in 2023 against Arkansas State. But the two official games were his only appearances for the Sooners.
Gabriel, Booty, Nick Evers, and Davis Beville were the group the Sooners brought in for the 2022 season. Now, all four have parted ways with the Sooners. Gabriel transferred to Oregon, Nick Evers transferred to UConn, while Beville landed at South Carolina.
However, the Sooners quarterback room is far from lacking depth. With Arnold, Maliek Hawkins, seventh-year Cason Thompson, and others, the Sooners still have some weapons in their rotation.
Booty’s father, Abram Booty, played wide receiver at LSU while his uncle, Josh Booty, played quarterback at LSU and in the NFL.
War Daddy Recruit: Analyzing Jonah Williams’ contenders as 5-star LB weighs top schools, MLB Draft potential
247Sports takes a closer look at 5-star LB Jonah Williams, one of the top uncommitted prospects in college football’s 2025 recruiting class.
Every recruiting class has them: The household names who are tracked breathlessly, who can send a fan base into a whirlwind with one cryptic tweet, who become water-cooler (i.e.,message board) fodder because of two things: They’re really damn good — and they’re uncommitted. As the 2025 recruiting class hits the fall slate of visits, 247Sports is profiling a slew of these players in the War Daddy series as our analysts handicap far-and-wide recruiting battles and tell you why these players matter on a national scale.
In the era of uptempo, no-huddle offenses, defensive coordinators are looking for versatile players with size and speed who can play in space. In the 2025 class, there might not be a better example of this type of player than Jonah Williams.
The five-star linebacker from Galveston (Texas) Ball can play a few different positions on the field and has the size that schools covet.
247Sports ranks the 6-foot-3, 203-pounds Williams as the No. 12 overall prospect, No. 2 linebacker and No. 4 player in Texas. Williams also has a potential future on the baseball diamond where he’s viewed as a legitimate MLB prospect.
While there’s been much discussion over his future position, Williams wants to prove that he can play multiple positions.
“I just want to show I’m an athlete and not limited to one position,” Williams said. “I know God’s ability in me, and I want to show I can do it all on the field.”
