Derek Day brings old-school edge and real program familiarity to Butler’s front seven
Derek Day is a familiar name around Butler football: he was a four-year starter at defensive end for the Bulldogs and later returned to the program as a coach, which speaks to both his football IQ and his fit in the culture. A four-year starter at DE is not just “been there,” it usually means dependable technique, toughness, and consistency—traits teams love in the trenches. He’s the kind of fit a staff can trust if it wants a hard-nosed, system-friendly edge presence with Butler roots.
