Eric Butler Jr. gives Georgia State a compact, productive linebacker with JUCO production and pro-day grind
Eric Butler Jr. entered Georgia State in 2026 as a junior linebacker after posting 50 tackles, 4 sacks, and 8 tackles for loss in 2025 at Coffeyville CC, the kind of backfield disruption that jumps off the page. At 6-foot-1 and 230 pounds, he brings a sturdy, physical frame and a feel for finishing plays in the run game, while Georgia State’s roster bio also notes academic honor-roll recognition. He looks like a useful fit for a defense that wants toughness, downhill urgency, and a linebacker who can make offenses feel him early.
