Obadiah Butler gives Louisiana Christian a spark as a returner and situational back
In the 2026 season, Obadiah Butler has already flashed real value for Louisiana Christian: he was named SAC Special Teams Player of the Week after averaging 39.0 yards on two kickoff returns, including a 65-yard burst that helped flip momentum against Northwestern State. He’s a compact, senior back at 5'9" and 175 pounds who brings juice, quick acceleration, and a “flip-the-field” mindset. That return-game explosiveness is his calling card; if a team wants instant energy and hidden-yardage impact, Butler is the kind of player who can spice up a roster.
