With a tackle that can only be described as a body slam, five-star Oklahoma tight end commit Seneca Driver threw a cornerback to the ground following an interception, got flagged and stepped away as the DB
jumped up to respond.
It was a show of strength that, while he was rightfully penalized for it, makes Oklahoma excited to add the top-tier TE who plays both sides of the ball for Boyle County (Danville, KY). See it from Anthony Wireman of Nation of Blue:

Credit to Ballard (Louisville, KY) CB Andy Shepherd on the interception, and credit to linebacker Philly Koorsen for immediately jumping between Shepherd and Driver and pulling away his teammate to prevent a fight and any offsetting penalties that would have arose.
Driver was named to the ALL-USA Preseason Third Team following a terrific 2025 campaign in which he had 875 yards and 11 touchdowns on offense and 67 tackles, 10 tackles for loss and five interceptions on defense, according to 247Sports. He led Boyle County to a championship and was named the Kentucky Football Coaches Association's 4A player of the year.
Driver has been excellent when playing this year, as shown by his four-touchdown, one-interception game on Aug. 30. However, he has had issues with sportsmanship this season. He was ejected from the Week 3 game following two penalties for unsportsmanlike conduct, which also resulted in a suspension for Week 4. The team had a bye, and he's back on the field this week.
Boyle County is on pace to beat Ballard this week, which would extend its record to 4-1 on the season.
