Big-bodied Troy linebacker still looking for his breakout
Butler is a 6-3, 201-pound linebacker at Troy who has only recently begun seeing game action, logging his first career snap in the 2024 season finale after not appearing in games in 2023, so the résumé is still more projection than production. His appeal is size, length, and developmental upside at a physical position, but there is not enough public stat evidence yet to label him a proven playmaker. If you want an under-the-radar defender with traits to develop, he is worth watching; if you need an immediate-impact, high-floor linebacker, the current tape and usage suggest he is still a work in progress.
