Tab Butler brings freshman size, upside, and a developmental edge to Fordham’s DL room
In the 2026 season, Tab Butler is a freshman defensive lineman at Fordham listed at 6-foot-1, 215 pounds, with early recruiting buzz as a two-star prospect and a nationally ranked edge defender coming out of Georgia. His appeal is raw upside: he played both defensive end and linebacker in high school, suggesting versatility, and chose Fordham over Penn and Cornell, which hints at academic fit and a polished mindset. He looks like a good fit for a program that values smart, adaptable defenders with room to grow.
