The Oklahoma Sooners have a new QB on their roster and he might have the most incredible name in all of sports.
I’m talking about… General Booty.
I mean, what a name!
Booty is a 6-foot-3, 195-pound sophomore who transferred to OU from Tyler Junior College in Texas.
If his last name sounds familiar it might be because his uncle, John David Booty, played at USC during Pete Carroll’s time with the Trojans.
Last year General Booty threw for 3,115 yards and 25 touchdowns and had a 528-yard, 8-TD game. He was the second ranked QB in NJCAA.
But yeah, that name. Booty told the Dallas Morning News in 2020 that he’s aware of it might stick out and he’s cool with that:
“Obviously my name’s an attention-grabber and people like to do headlines with it, but I like to show people with my play that I can back it up, too,” General said. “I have done that, I’m going to continue to do that as well, and give them a reason to remember my name.”
His full name is General Axel Booty, which is just very good, too. His dad, Abram, has long been fascinated with the military and that’s why he named his son General. General Booty.
