Joshua Gibson Booty (born April 29, 1975) is an American former professional baseball and football player.

Booty was named to the All-Time National High School All-American team by Dick Butkus.

Evangel won the Louisiana High School Athletic Association Class 1A state championship in 1993, the first of 11 the Eagles would win between 1993 and 2006.

Booty's main competition for the 1993 awards was Peyton Manning, who was then a senior at Isidore Newman School in New Orleans.

Booty beat out two future NFL draft picks, Craig Nall and Rohan Davey, for the starting job.

In a 13–10 loss to UAB, he completed 39.5% of his passes for 156 yards and an interception along the left sideline on what was the Tigers' final offensive play of the game, giving the ball to the Blazers in field goal range.

Davey only completed 33.3% of his passes against Florida with no touchdowns and one interception, so Booty took over with 10:32 left in the third quarter while LSU was behind, 24–3.

Trailing 14–3 at halftime, Saban yanked Booty and inserted Davey, who helped the Tigers outscore the Yellow Jackets 25–0 in the second half.

Another brother, John David Booty, was the starting quarterback at USC in 2007, and was drafted by the Minnesota Vikings in 2008.

Josh won the MLB Network reality show "The Next Knuckler", hosted by former Boston Red Sox players Tim Wakefield and Kevin Millar.

For winning, he got a chance to go to spring training with the Arizona Diamondbacks as a pitcher, even though his baseball rights technically still belonged to the Marlins.
