Coaches use fake snake to prank star quarterback

Oklahoma State-bound quarterback Nick Starkel received quite a scare at a recent practice.


Liberty Christian (Argyle, Texas) senior Nick Starkel is a 6-foot-3 quarterback who is committed to play football at Oklahoma State.

He's also deathly afraid of snakes, apparently.

Liberty Christian coaches took advantage of his ophiophobia by playing a trick on their offensive leader.

Quarterbacks coach Matt Faulkner hid a fake snake under a practice cone, and sent Starkel to retrieve it.

Starkel's reaction is both perfect and priceless.



Starkel will make sure make sure the grass is cut short before the team's home opener next Friday against Celina.
