Payton Foley brings size and two-way toughness to Butler’s linebacker room
Payton Foley is a 6-foot-2, 210-pound freshman linebacker at Butler who arrived with a reputation for physicality and versatility after playing DE/FB in high school. In his 2025 freshman season, he did not see game action, so the evaluation is still mostly about projection rather than college production. What makes him interesting is the blend of size, effort, and multi-position background that can translate into special teams value and long-term defensive development if he sharpens his linebacker instincts.
