Sooners transfer QB General Booty commits to Louisiana-Monroe

Former Oklahoma QB General Booty is headed to Monroe, Louisiana to play for the ULM Warhawks.

[autotag]General Booty[/autotag] will be heading home to continue his college football career. After the former Oklahoma Sooners football quarterback entered the transfer portal on May 3rd, he has found a landing spot at Louisiana-Monroe.

Booty has ties to nearby Shreveport, Louisiana, and Booty is the latest in a long line of football players in his family from the area. His father Abram Booty and uncle Josh Booty both played at LSU, while John David Booty was a quarterback at USC.

Booty announced the move on social media, and he’s found a new home in Monroe after spending two seasons at Oklahoma.

Booty arrived in Norman in the summer of 2022, transferring in from Tyler Junior College, where he passed for 3,410 yards and threw 27 touchdowns. He appeared in just two games as a Sooner, against TCU in 2022 and against Arkansas State in 2023. He had a long touchdown run in the [autotag]2024 Spring Game[/autotag] that may have boosted his stock right before entering the portal.

The General has been a popular figure in college football for the last two years because of his unique name. He parlayed that into a NIL deal with Rock ‘Em Socks and his own personal line of boxers, briefs, and socks.

The departures of Booty and [autotag]Jacob Switzer[/autotag] at the quarterback position this spring have reshuffled the depth chart for [autotag]Brent Venables[/autotag] and [autotag]Seth Littrell[/autotag]. Sophomore [autotag]Jackson Arnold[/autotag] will be the starter with [autotag]Casey Thompson[/autotag], [autotag]Michael Hawkins Jr.[/autotag] and [autotag]Brendan Zurbrugg[/autotag] behind him.

Booty’s commitment to ULM means he’s the latest former Sooner to find a landing spot in the portal. Still looking for a home are Switzer at quarterback, linebackers [autotag]Shane Whitter[/autotag] and Konnor Near, tight end Hayden Bray, kicker Gavin Marshall and punter Redi Mustafaraj.

PREVIEW: No. 18 Texas Longhorns vs. Louisiana Monroe Warhawks

How will Texas fare in Quinn Ewers’ first start?

The Texas Longhorns will take the field against the Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks Saturday night. The game will present an opportunity to erase last year’s struggles from players’ minds.

Terry Bowden begins a second season for Louisiana-Monroe after similar adversity in his first year. The Warhawks finished the season with a 4-8 record in 2021. Albeit, their struggles were not for lack of efficient quarterback play.

Rising sophomore Chandler Rodgers will lead the offense for a first full season this year. Rodgers finished third in the Sun Belt in completion percentage, connecting on 62.6 percent of his passing attempts.

Rodgers figures to have a strong option for a primary target in senior receiver Boogie Knight. Knight had 45 catches for 588 receiving yards. If the Longhorns were to game plan to take away a player, the veteran receiver may be the most dangerous threat.

Let’s look at how the game could play out for both teams.

ULM Warhawks College Football Preview 2021: Offense

– You could see it coming. The ULM offense lost star QB Caleb Evans, it was a total rebuild, and the O really, really didn’t work. Enter new head coach Terry Bowden and offensive coordinator Rich Rodriguez to make it all go again … with a TON of help coming from the transfer portal.

Don’t get comfortable with any sort of depth chart – it’s all a work in progress as the coaching staff keeps looking for more help and more talent.

– No position in more in flux than quarterback. 6-4, 245-pound Colby Suits led the team in passing last year, but he’s not much of a runner. He was in the transfer portal, but he appears to be staying for now. 6-3, 230-pound Jeremy Hunt is another big passing option, but Arizona transfer – and Rich’s son – Rhett Rodriguez is the best fit for the gig. Dad wants the quarterbacks to be mobile.

Leading rusher Josh Johnson is gone, but 210-pound freshman Kadyn Roach is back after finishing second on the team with just 112 yards and a score. This is a work in progress – it’s not a deep group.

– Four of the five starting offensive linemen are back. They have good size  and there’s experience and versatility to play around with, but the group has to be far better for the running game and has to be far, far better in pass protection.

– The loss of tight end and leading receiver Josh Pederson to the NFL hurts, but the offense has a good playmaking receiver in Perry Carter – he just needs the ball more. The top five wide receivers are back, and more are on the way through the transfer portal.

5. College Football News Preview 2020: ULM Warhawks Offense 3 Things To Know

– The Warhawk offense has to somehow go on without Caleb Evans. The longtime star quarterback is finally done, and now it’s going to take some work to come up with the right guy who can make the attack that averaged 461 yards – second-best in the Sun Belt – and 32 points per game,

[jwplayer DWq0llPr]

– Sophomore Colby Suits will get the first look after being Evans’ backup. He’s a 6-3, 242-pound passer who can move a bit, However, he’s going to have to hold off JUCO transfer Jeremy Hunt, a 6-3, 215-pound dual-threat option who fits the offense perfectly.

Leading receiver Markis McCray is done, but Josh Pederson is a fantastic tight end who caught a team-high nine touchdown passes on his 43 grabs as a go-to target and safety valve

The receiving corps is full of field stretchers options. It’s a deep, loaded group even without McCray with junior Perry Carter ready to take on a bigger role in his spot.

– The quarterback might have to be a big part of the rushing element – Evans was second on the team in rushing and led the way with 12 scores – but it all works around senior Josh Johnson, a tough 215-pound veteran who averaged well over six yards per carry with 1,298 yards and 11 scores.

The offensive line that was so strong in pass protection – Evans had a lot to do with that – but had problems keeping defenses out of the backfield against the run has to all but start over. Senior Samuel Williams is back at one tackle, and everyone else has to be replaced.
