Prep Spotlight: Getting to know Norman football player London Herbin

Norman football player London Herbin, a senior at Norman High School, is the latest athlete to be featured in The Oklahoman's Prep Spotlight series. Herbin, who stands at 5-7, has a wide range of interests and aspirations that set him apart from his peers.

One of Herbin's hidden talents is his ability to draw. Whether it's sketching on the sidelines or creating detailed artwork in his free time, drawing is a creative outlet that allows him to express himself beyond the football field.

When it comes to pregame music, Herbin puts on his favorite artist, NBA Youngboy, specifically his song "Free Meechy." The energetic beats and lyrics seem to pump him up and get him ready for the challenges ahead.

Herbin's dream career outside of professional football is to become a famous baseball player. While football is his primary focus, Herbin recognizes that he possesses the skills and athleticism to excel in another sport entirely. He appreciates the speed and agility of baseball players, which he believes aligns with his own physical attributes.

If given the chance to change the school mascot, Herbin would choose a Puma. The reason behind his selection is simple – Pumas are known for their speed and stealth, qualities that he admires and wishes to embody both on and off the field.

As football writer Jordan Davis continues to cover high school sports for The Oklahoman, Herbin's story is a testament to the diverse talents and ambitions that exist within the athletic community.
