Column: Football helped lead Litefoot, Cherokee, to music career





"Litefoot - maybe you know him as Gary Davis, Metro Christian Class of 1987 - is an American Indian rapper, motivational speaker and actor who has his own record label and clothing line.

He's developing his own branded line of sneakers, the Litefoot Flex Arrow.

His film credits include a starring role in a 1995 film, "The Indian in the Cupboard."

Maybe you spotted him in "Adaptation" or "Mortal Kombat: Annihilation" or doing guest spots on TV shows like "Family Law" or CSI: Miami."

How does this story wind up on a sports page? Because Litefoot credits lessons he learned from football for putting him on the path for a successful life.

Litefoot was, for a brief period, a receiver at the University of Tulsa. He said he was a walk-on (nonscholarship) player during George Henshaw's only season as head coach."
