Oklahoma Commit Choke‑Slams Opponent After Interception

The viral takedown highlights repeated post-play conduct that could complicate Driver's move to Oklahoma.

Overview

  • Seneca Driver lifted and dumped Ballard cornerback Andy Shepherd after an interception on Sept. 25, drawing a personal-foul penalty while video of the play raced across social media.
  • The penalty did not change the final score as Boyle County won 38-3, but the clip renewed scrutiny of Driver's behavior after the whistle.
  • Driver is a five-star, 6-foot-6, 240-pound tight end commit to Oklahoma who plays both ways for Boyle County and draws recruiting interest for his rare size and production.
  • This episode follows a Week 3 ejection for two unsportsmanlike-conduct penalties and a one-game suspension, creating a pattern of post-play issues that teams and coaches will likely monitor.
  • Driver’s 2025 résumé — 875 receiving yards, 11 offensive touchdowns and strong defensive numbers that earned state and national honors — explains why schools covet him even as questions about discipline persist.
