General Booty is headed elsewhere to finish out his college career.
A native of Shreveport and the son of former LSU receiver Abram Booty, General Booty has announced his commitment to the University of Louisiana Monroe.
He tweeted, “I’m Excited to go to work with my new teammates at The University of Louisiana Monroe! I’m coming home!”
General Booty spent two seasons in Norman with the Sooners after he originally transferred to Oklahoma in May of 2022 after playing at Tyler Junior College.
Booty played in two games; the first one was during Oklahoma’s repeated quarterback injuries during the 2022 TCU game. The next was in the season opener last year against Arkansas State. Neither time were any statistics kept track of for Booty.
Booty moved around a ton in high school as he played four different schools in Texas and California, and was a three-star recruit in the class of 2021.
