Oklahoma Sooners add JUCO transfer QB General Booty

The Oklahoma Sooners added another quarterback to its ranks after getting a commitment from JUCO transfer General Booty.

The Oklahoma Sooners aren’t slowing down in the talent acquisition department as they prepare for the 2022 season. After getting a commitment from Pittsburgh transfer quarterback [autotag]Davis Beville[/autotag] earlier in the week, the Sooners landed another quarterback in the transfer portal, this time JUCO transfer General Booty.

Booty played one season for Tyler Junior College and threw for 3,115 yards, 25 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions. The former Allen Eagle was second in the junior college ranks in passing yards per game and fourth in passing touchdowns for Tyler, who went 7-5 in 2021 and finished second in the Southwest Junior College Football Conference.

Adding Booty to the ranks gives Jeff Lebby seven quarterbacks as they head into the summer. [autotag]Dillon Gabriel[/autotag] is the unquestioned starter and Davis Beville is the presumptive favorite to win the backup quarterback job. Then Oklahoma has true freshman [autotag]Nick Evers[/autotag], [autotag]General Booty[/autotag], [autotag]Micah Bowens[/autotag], [autotag]Ben Harris[/autotag], and [autotag]Ralph Rucker[/autotag].

2022 Spring Preview: Dillon Gabriel steps in as the unquestioned starter for the Oklahoma Sooners

What does the quarterback position look like for the Oklahoma Sooners as they get set to start spring practice?

As spring practices for Oklahoma get underway on March 22, it’s time to begin taking stock of what the Sooners have on campus in each respective position group. Here at the Sooners Wire, we’ll give you a breakdown of what to watch for as Oklahoma begins preparations for the 2022 season.

Yesterday, Josh Helmer took a look at a wide receiver group that lost several of their top pass catchers but looks to be in great shape anyway. Today, we’ll take a look at the position throwing them the football, the quarterback.

No position group has seen as much upheaval in the last few months as the quarterback group. After a benching and a coaching change in the last eight months, Oklahoma was well connected in the transfer portal and despite its losses at the position, remain in fantastic shape at quarterback.

BREAKING: Oklahoma quarterback Spencer Rattler to enter the transfer portal

With the Oklahoma Sooners in a state of transition, quarterback Spencer Rattler made the long-expected decision to enter the transfer portal

In a move that’s not nearly as surprising as Lincoln Riley’s departure for USC, Oklahoma Sooners quarterback Spencer Rattler has made it known via his Twitter account that he will enter the transfer portal.

After being replaced in the starting lineup by Caleb Williams amid an up and down start to the season, it was expected that Rattler would take his talents elsewhere. The only question was, would it be the NFL or another college team. With his decision to enter the portal, it looks like he’ll stick around for one more season to attempt to rebuild his draft stock that was once as high as the first overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft.

Much like the rest of the 2021 season for the Oklahoma Sooners things didn’t go very smoothly for the preseason favorite to win the Heisman trophy. Rattler finished the season with 1,483 yards, 11 touchdowns and five interceptions, completing 73.7 of his passes and a 104.3 passer rating (NFL).

At this point in time that leaves the Oklahoma Sooners with Caleb Williams, Ben Harris, Ralph Rucker, and Micah Bowns as the quarterbacks on the depth chart. Of course with all of the transition occurring in Norman, there’s no telling what the quarterback depth chart will look like when the Sooners prepare for Spring practices in a few months.
