Football stops for nothing.
Marcellus Crutchfield, son of former Oklahoma defensive tackle Gerald McCoy announced his intentions to follow in his father’s footsteps and attend the University of Oklahoma.

The class of 2020 product is unranked on Rivals and 247, but out of Tampa Catholic High School in Tampa, Fla., Crutchfield put up 1,225 yards on 61 receptions and eight touchdowns in just 21 varsity games over his junior and senior seasons per Max Preps.
Listed at 6-foot and 190 pounds, Crutchfield fits the typical build of a Lincoln Riley wide receiver but is quite the opposite athlete from his father.

Gerald McCoy was theĀ third overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft behind fellow Sooner Sam Bradford and arguably one of the greatest defensive players to play college football, Ndamukong Suh.
Drafted by Tampa Bay, McCoy left the team in free agency to the Carolina Panthers where he signed a 1-year deal worth $8-million. McCoy is currently an unrestricted free agent and is still a top-tier pass-rusher at 32 years old.
