General Booty’s journey to becoming the starting quarterback at the Division I level has been quite a notable one. His rise to prominence began at Tyler Junior College in Texas, where he made a significant impact during the 2021 season. Playing as the starting quarterback for Tyler, Booty exhibited exceptional performance on the field. He accumulated a staggering 3,410 passing yards and 27 touchdowns, averaging an impressive 284.2 yards per game. This impressive yardage total was the second highest among Junior College players that season, marking him as a standout talent in that tier of football.
After his successful stint at Tyler, Booty aimed to advance to a higher level of competition and found an opportunity at Oklahoma. He joined the Sooners and spent the 2022 and 2023 seasons with the program. Despite his aspirations and skills, Booty had to contend with being a backup quarterback at Oklahoma. His playtime was limited, and he only saw action in two games during his tenure with the Sooners.
Recognizing that he needed a new opportunity to fully showcase his abilities, Booty decided to enter the transfer portal once more. His goal was to secure a position where he could take on the role of a starting quarterback, and this pursuit led him to the Sun Belt Conference. He successfully transferred to Louisiana-Monroe, where he is poised to be named the starting quarterback for the upcoming 2024 season.
Louisiana-Monroe’s season opener is set to be against Jackson State, followed by a game against UAB, and they will face Texas in their third game. Booty’s prior experience with Oklahoma means he is already familiar with Texas, which could prove advantageous.
This new chapter in Booty’s career represents a significant opportunity for him to demonstrate his full potential on the field. With a family background that includes NFL lineage, Booty possesses the genetic advantages and inherent traits that could contribute to his success at the collegiate level. Now, as he steps into the role of starting quarterback for Louisiana-Monroe, all eyes will be on him to see how he capitalizes on this chance to make a mark in college football.
