John Butler is Troy’s dependable, do-everything safety
Butler profiles as a high-motor, assignment-sound safety who has been more valuable on special teams than on the stat sheet, playing every game in 2024 and earning major snap volume on kick return, kick cover and punt return units. Troy lists him at 6-foot, 180 pounds, and his appeal is reliability: he shows up, handles multiple roles, and has the toughness to contribute without needing the ball in his hands. He is a better fit for teams that value depth, coverage discipline and special-teams impact over splashy production.[7]
