2021 recruiting class includes QB named General Booty
The 2021 recruiting class features arguably one of the greatest quarterback names in history: General Booty.
The 6-foot-3 Booty is a sophomore at Cornerstone Christian School in San Antonio, Texas and has an impressive athletic pedigree.
"General has a blood line that you need to follow closely. His mother is the sister of Joe Ferguson, a longtime NFL quarterback with the Buffalo Bills and Detroit Lions," former Houston head coach John Jenkins told Ahmard Vital in a piece for 247 Sports. "He (Ferguson) played about 20 years in the NFL. His granddad, Johnny Booty was one of the highly recruited quarterbacks coming out of America years ago from Shreveport Woodlawn, which is the same school Ferguson and Terry Bradshaw went to.
"His dad (Abram Booty), who I still think holds records at LSU for receiver, is an NFL guy. His uncle, John David Booty played in the NFL and Josh Booty, his uncle, was in the NFL and played Major League Baseball."

Jenkins got a chance to watch Booty at his Coach John Jenkins National Passing Classic in Houston earlier this month, and clearly liked what he saw from the young quarterback.
"He's got size and has huge hands like a first baseman's mitt. He is about to come into his own," Jenkins said. "This is just a heads up on him. He's going to be a good one. This kid has NFL stamped all over him."
