Columbia Lions LB with High School Tackling Prowess and Captain's Grit
Will Butz, a Riverside High alum, exploded for 69 tackles and 26 TFL in his 2019 junior season, earning All-Region and All-District honors as a versatile OLB/safety, plus lacrosse state champ intensity.[2] At Columbia, he's contributed 2 tackles and 0.5 sacks in limited 2022-23 action (3+9 games, mostly special teams), sat 2024 as manager, but his senior captain leadership, academic excellence (3x letter, AP Scholar), and community service mark him as a high-character hustle player.[2] Care because his motor and smarts fit developmental programs needing tough, reliable depth LBs—no injury flags, pure team-first differentiator.
