QB Room Discussion

a lot of NIL possibilities with this kid (name)... 

Yep

His uncle is John David Booty, a former USC starting QB.  Granddad and a couple uncles played college ball.  His dad was a WR at LSU and had a cup of coffee in the NFL with the Browns,  according to an article I saw on him. 

what about John Bigbooté? remember him?

dunno... might be trying to get someone on the roster to enter the portal?

how many qb's in the room right now and how many committed/transferring? total of? that's a lot when we have needs elsewhere is all i'm saying

I read that someone verified he's the son of the LSU WR Booty. That dude was awesome. The Booty's are well known in Baton Rouge, quite the football family 

We have to think DG leaves if he has a good season though

I've heard someone mention that Bowens might be tried at WR. Unfortunately, I don't remember who said it.

So, we're getting General Booty but not Specific Booty?

"Offensively, Booty comes to Tyler with a rich family history in football and a name that is unforgettable.



“There’s really not a special story to it,” Booty said of his given name. “When my dad (Abram) was growing up he loved the military. He was never in the military, but he loves the military. One day he was trying to be creative and he came up with the name General and he said if he had a son I’m naming him General. He got my mom to go along so that’s how I got the name.”



Booty’s grandfather, Johnny Booty, who was a standout QB in his own right and played at Arkansas and Mississippi State, told his grandson he was the “field general.”



The TJC freshman’s father, Abram, played wide receiver at LSU, while his three uncles — John David, Josh and Drake, were all quarterbacks. All were coached by his grandfather, who was an All-American high school football player at Shreveport (Louisiana) Woodlawn High School.



Josh, John David and Abram played at Evangel Christian High School, while youngest brother Jake played at Calvary Baptist High School, all in the Shreveport area.



Josh is believed to be the only high school athlete to be chosen national player of the year in two sports (football and baseball). He was the No. 5 overall choice by the Florida Marlins in 1994. He also played in the NFL with Cleveland, Seattle and Oakland.



Abram, who played football at Evangel Christian from 1993 to 1996, set national career records in receiving yards (5,867 yards), receptions (302) and touchdowns (83). He later played at LSU and Valdosta State and with Cleveland in the NFL. General’s parents, Abraham and Amy, live in Allen.



John David played at USC, leading the Trojans to Rose Bowl victories in 2007 and 2008. He was drafted by Minnesota and also played for Tennessee and Houston. He now lives in California.



Josh flew in from Florida to see General’s first start. Also, his grandfather and parents were in attendance.



General was the starting QB at texsa powerhouse Allen and had several Division I offers as well as Yale, but due to COVID-19 numbers and to improve his shot at other schools, he decided to come to TJC.



“Tyler was the first to reach out to me,” General said. “I came to visit; I loved the town, I loved the city. I liked Coach (Thomas) Rocco and what they wanted to do offensively.”


“His mother is the sister of Joe Ferguson, a long-time NFL quarterback with the Buffalo Bills and Detroit Lions."

His granddad, John Booty, was one of the highly recruited quarterbacks coming out of America years ago from Shreveport Woodlawn, which is the same school Ferguson and Terry Bradshaw (NFL Hall of Fame class of 1989) went to.”

Booty gets more and more interesting. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Not all of them are scholarship guys. Something else to think about...if Lebby found out about Booty after he grabbed Deville then Deville could still go somewhere else or they've told him they plan to move him to TE...I see Booty as number two this year

Looks like he was in Cali in 2019 and Wease was in the 2019 class so doesn't appear that they did.
