Caleb Butler brings size, special-teams grit, and developmental upside to Georgia Southern’s linebacker room
In the 2025 season, Caleb Butler appeared in five games for Georgia Southern, redshirted, and logged 48 special-teams snaps, which tells you the staff trusted him early in the gritty, doing-the-dirty-work role that often earns more opportunities later[2]. At 6-foot-1 and 235 pounds, the Brunswick, Georgia, product has the frame for inside linebacker and the kind of physical profile that fits a downhill, contact-heavy defense[2][8]. He hasn’t posted tackle stats yet, so the appeal is less about production right now and more about size, special-teams value, and a clear path to growth[1][2].
