The following story was written by long-time Texas High School Football expert Ahmard Vital, who had the chance to spend the day with former Houston head coach John Jenkins earlier this month during the Coach John Jenkins National Passing Classic.

When it comes to NFL family names, the Manning’s and Matthews usually come to mind. With the Manning’s, it’s Archie, Peyton and Eli. The Matthews tree is even deeper with Clay Sr. having two sons, Clay Jr. and Bruce, both of which have two NFL players in the league most recently with Clay III and Casey and Bruce’s boys in Kevin and Jake. These families hold plenty of weight within the history of the NFL.

Another name that belongs in the conversation is the Booty’s. And with that said, the next in line to uphold the family name is General Booty. After spending his freshman season at Corona del Mar in Newport Beach, California, Booty is now ready to suit up at quarterback for San Antonio (Texas) Cornerstone Christian School for his sophomore campaign. And from all accounts, he will be a good one.

Most recently, the 6-foot-3 Booty made his presence known at the Coach John Jenkins National Passing Classic in Houston (Waller HS). Jenkins, a man who knows a thing or two about what a top quarterback looks like, provided a history lesson to illustrate the talent pool that the young General comes from.

“General has a blood line that you need to follow closely. His mother is the sister of Joe Ferguson, a long time NFL quarterback with the Buffalo Bills and Detroit Lions,” Jenkins said. “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 (NFL Hall of Fame – 1989) 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.”

So it’s safe to say that General is the next in line to continue in the success many have shared before him. At Corona del Mar, General appeared in four games, throwing three touchdowns and rushing for one more. Now he will bring that talent to the Texas High School football scene at Cornerstone Christian. And of course, three generations of the Booty family will follow. His father, Abram, will be the Warriors head football coach and Grandfather Johnny will serve as the athletic director.

When Jenkins got the chance to see General in live action, it didn’t take him long to properly evaluate the talent, abilities and predictable trajectory of a player like Booty.

“He’s (General) 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.”
