Iowa football reportedly in contact with Oklahoma transfer quarterback, General Booty.
In 2024, the Iowa Hawkeyes do not appear to be very strong at quarterback. Yes, this has been the situation for some years, but it is particularly severe this season.
With Cade McNamara still recovering from the ACL injury that sidelined him from Week 6 and on last season, and nearly every other quarterback in the program electing to transfer, Iowa can still find some competition through the transfer portal. While Iowa has already been linked to Northwestern’s Brendan Sullivan, the Hawkeyes could turn outside of the conference for quarterback help.
Ortal, Iowa is running out of passers.
On Friday, Pete Nakos of On3 reported that Iowa has contacted Oklahoma transfer quarterback General Booty.
Booty joined the transfer portal on Thursday and has already spoken with several programs, including Iowa. According to Nakos, Booty has also heard from Tulsa, Samford, UTSA, and Louisiana-Monroe.
Booty played only two games for the Sooners in two years after transferring from Tyler Junior College in Texas. He threw for 3,410 yards and 27 touchdowns in his one season at Tyler Junior College. He comes from an NFL family.
Both of his uncles, Josh and John David Booty, played Division I football before joining the NFL. General’s father, Abram, was a starting wide receiver for LSU in the late 1990s.
It’s difficult to predict what Booty’s impact on Iowa football will be. The Hawkeyes need a quarterback, but Booty didn’t play much for Oklahoma.
That gives you no idea how Booty appears at the Division I level. To be fair, just because he hasn’t had the opportunity yet does not mean General Booty cannot have the goods.
