Lawton MacArthur standout Xzavier Booth Xzavier Booth 5'10" | 175 lbs | DB Lawton | 2024 State OK is a star in the making and ready to shine bright. Booth is the other prospect on this breakdown that recently announced a commitment to UCO. When we saw Lawton MacArthur at the beginning of the season, Booth was arguably the most impressive player we saw at a scrimmage that featured a wealth of D1 recruits and prospects. The Highlander standout was relentless in his ability to make plays and impact the game. We’re very interested to see where Booth ends up playing at the next level. Because with the Highlanders, Booth is just as effective closer to the line of scrimmage as he is to being closer to a traditional secondary. But no matter where Booth ends up playing at the next level, we have no doubt that he’s going to make a massive impact. UCO has done a great job recruiting in state and that has continued.

There were some really good performances on Thursday night but we might have saved our best for last. Lawton MacArthur 2024 defensive back Xzavier Booth Xzavier Booth 5'10" | 175 lbs | DB Lawton | 2024 State OK was the most impressive player in attendance on Thursday night. He was dominant on the defensive side of the ball and the mini game with Southmoore was destined for a 0-0 tie until Booth sacked Southmoore’s quarterback in the end zone for what would be the game-winning safety. And this was one play after tracking down the ball carrier from 20 yards away. Booth was all over the field at all times and it seemed like he was in on every single play from start to finish. Again, this scrimmage had some legit star power but Booth’s complete performance on defense was the best in our opinion.

We really like the talent and overall star power that the Highlanders bring back on the defensive side of the ball and as we mentioned earlier, that is completely evident when you look at the secondary. Leading that secondary is 2024 Xzavier Booth Xzavier Booth 5'10" | 175 lbs | DB Lawton | 2024 State OK at the cornerback position and after watching the Highlanders earlier this spring, we think that Booth is primed for a big season of locking down opposing wide receivers. Booth is a player that we’re going to be keeping an eye on because he has experience and talent on his side. He’s going into his third year as a starter and has just continued to improve every time he steps on the field. This defense can be lights out if they play to their potential and that would put Booth in the conversation as one of the better 5A corners.
