Stanford’s Jacob Butler brings New York speed, playmaker juice, and underdog edge
Jacob Butler enters Stanford as a 2026 wide receiver with real upside: he was a consensus three-star recruit and ranked among the top receivers in New York, while Stanford’s own roster notes call him a top-three overall recruit in the state. In the 2025 season, his pre-college profile showed production and burst—58 catches for 1,200 yards at Long Island Lutheran—and his nickname, “Hurricane,” fits the vibe: fast, twitchy, and a threat in space. He looks like a fit for a team that wants a dynamic slot/playmaker rather than a big-bodied possession target.
