Sometimes a cursory glance at the college football transfer webpage takes a minute or two. Check on the Big Ten, particularly Illinois, and record “Tracker” (yeah, I am a fan).
But this weekend, the gateway offered one of the most football-themed names ever: General Booty, prompting me to explore deeper. “Tracker” will be present in the morning.
Oklahoma quarterback Booty comes from a notable quarterback family, which includes uncle Josh, who played at LSU, and uncle John David, who played at Southern Cal. Yes, Illinois fans, that man who threw three touchdown passes in the Trojans’ 38-0 Rose Bowl victory over Illinois in 2008.
Iowa, which has Cade McNamara as its projected starter this season, appears to be one of the teams interested in the General. The former Michigan player is recovering from an injury. Having an experienced backup like Booty makes a lot of sense in Iowa. Plus, I believe it will be exciting to have him in the Big Ten.
Stay tuned. I’ll keep you updated if Booty travels north.
