Dre Butler brings veteran size and plug-the-gap toughness to USF’s defensive front
In the 2025 season, Dre Butler was a disruptive, high-motor defensive tackle for South Florida, posting 30 tackles and 2.0 sacks while bringing rare experience from five prior stops and 40 career games at the Division I level. At 6-foot-5 and around 290 pounds, he fits the “big-body” role USF wanted in a deeper, stronger line, and his resume suggests a player who can handle tough snaps inside and steady the run defense. If your team wants seasoned interior help with proven power and adaptability, Butler is worth a close look.
