#1WR on Scout
#2 on Rivals
Okie TV station
His family is from Baton Rouge and NOLA and in a Scout subscription article he said they all wanted him to go to LSU.
He committed early in the process(3/12/10)to OU.
Some East Texas kids are legendary academic risks but we all know it is hard to not be eligible for OU. Poor kid is missing out on being on ESPNU right now.

NORMAN, Oklahoma – Oklahoma head coach Bob Stoops said Monday that incoming freshman receiver Trey Metoyer will not be academically eligible and cannot join the Sooners this semester.
The 6-foot-2-inch Metoyer was ranked by Rivals.com as the second best wide receiver in the 2011 class and the No. 12 overall recruit in the nation, making him the highest-rated recruit in OU's freshman class.
Because he failed to meet OU's academic requirements, he will instead spend the fall semester at Hargrave Military Academy in Virginia. He will have the opportunity to transfer to OU in January if he raises his grades.
Stoops said he expects Metoyer to play football at Hargrave, but does not think that will cost Metoyer a year of college eligibility.

Maybe we can scoop him up on the second go round.

we passed on him last year, wonder why.

This is probably really good news to the ears of Dorial Green-Beckham. OU loses it's best WR after this season in Broyles and their prized WR recruit coming in this year is now not going to make it. DGB could the man from year 1 now at OU and that means getting a TON of passes thrown your way in a watered down conference.

He claimed he didnt want to go to LSU because we didnt throw it enough

He gets the ball thrown to just him in 1 game than we throw it all game to everyone. I can understand that. Look at his top schools - OU, Arky, Mizzou...spread passing teams.
FYI - He got the ball thrown to him 28 times in his game on ESPN recently.

No matter what Trey siad it's a fact that we passed on him.He wanted to go to LSU bad but we weren't ready to take him that early so he visited Oklahoma and commited to them.If we would've given him the ok to commit then he would've been a Tiger.Talented kid and if we don't land a big wr like Stanford then I'd take him.

Id take him over Stanford everyday of the week

It was down to LSU/OU when he announced, I watched the live stream

It was down to LSU/Oklahoma when he announced but he only had one choice.I'd take him as well and probably over Stanford but would be happy with either one .

We never seemed interested in him.
I don't know why.

OU has the one of the deepest WR corps in the country, maybe the deepest. Metoyer was not even in the 3 deep at any of the WR spots coming out of the spring.

He was going to play at Tyler Junior College but only passed 9 out of 12 hours during the summer and was declared ineligible
