Two years ago, Drake Stoops was a freshman walk-on wide receiver at Oklahoma.
On Saturday, his 25-yard touchdown reception from quarterback Spencer Rattler proved to be the game winner as the Sooners defeated arch-rival Texas in Dallas, 53-45, in four overtimes.
Stoops caught only two passes in the game, but he made them count. Rattler completed 23 passes, including three for scores, plus a two-point conversion, but none was bigger than the touchdown to Stoops. The 5-foot-9 sophomore is the son of former Oklahoma head coach Bob Stoops.
His game winner is this week’s U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish “Catch of the Week.”
Remember … for the tailgate tent or the pre-game party, U. S. Farm-Raised Catfish is always “the winning catch.”
The Catfish Institute, or TCI, was formed in 1986 by catfish farmers and feed manufacturers to raise consumer awareness of the positive qualities of U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish. Since its formation, U.S. per capita consumption has more than doubled.
U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish is a sustainable and environmentally friendly seafood product. The National Audubon Society, Monterey Bay Aquarium, and Environmental Defense all recommend U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish as a safe environmental choice. To find out more, visit www.uscatfish.com.
