General Booty commits to play QB at Oklahoma

[underpants]

Booty's father, Abram, had a fascination with the Army growing up, according to The Dallas Morning News. He made the decision mentally when he was younger that if he had a son one day, he'd name him General.

The plan was for Booty's parents to call him by his middle name, Axel. But they told The Dallas Morning News that when Booty was young, he only answered to "General," and so that's what stuck.

The Booty family has moved around in recent years, which has meant General has spent time at four different high schools — two in California and then one in San Antonio before coming to Allen, Texas, for his senior year.

Through Dec. 16, Booty had thrown 27 touchdowns in his senior year for Allen. The 6-3 senior had garnered five scholarship offers from Division I schools: Liberty, Louisiana-Monroe, McNeese State, Nicholls State and Yale.

Maybe third string. Has potential.
