Where are they now? Boobie Miles from Friday Night Lights….

Boobie Miles, portrayed by actor Derek Luke in the movie "Friday Night Lights," is a fictionalized character based on a real-life individual named James "Boobie" Miles. While the movie takes creative liberties with certain details, here are some facts about both the character and the real person:

The star running back, Boobie Miles, from the movie "Friday Night Lights," began his football journey in Odessa, Texas, playing Pop Warner Football with his uncle, L.V. Miles, as the head coach.

As Miles entered high school, he had high expectations, with top D1 programs like Florida State, Nebraska, and Texas A&M showing keen interest in recruiting him. Preseason predictions had chosen Permian to win the state title based partly on the play of Miles.

During his junior year at Permian High School, Miles showcased his talent by rushing for an impressive 1,345 yards, setting the stage for a remarkable senior season.

However, a setback occurred as Miles tore his ACL before his senior year. Despite attempting to play with a brace, he never fully recovered his speed and strength. This led to reduced playing time and eventually, Boobie Miles decided to leave the team.

Opting for surgery, Miles secured a scholarship to play at Ranger College in Texas. There, he became the first freshman starting running back before transitioning to a semi-pro football team in Virginia.

After the success of the iconic movie Friday Night Lights, this gave him an opportunity to reach young athletes and share his life story, giving back to the community. If you want to learn more about Boobies thoughts on his experience after high school click the button…
