Who is Boobie Miles from the book, Friday Night Lights?

James “Boobie” Miles is a black senior at Permian High, a running back on the Panthers, and a foster child being raised by his uncle, L.V. Boobie has a learning disability, so it is only in football where he excels. It is noted that without football, Boobie would be nothing. Boobie experiences an injury early on, forcing him to be sidelined through most of the season. His college prospects diminish severely, and Boobie ultimately quits the team and moves out of his uncle’s house. He goes on years later to have children, and drift from one menial job to the next.
