Derrick Butler is a Georgia Southern-era tackling machine with proven big-play juice
Derrick Butler was a high-impact linebacker for Georgia Southern, finishing his career with 279 tackles, which still places him among the program’s all-time leaders, and he earned first-team All-SoCon honors in 2004. His profile screams instincts, physicality, and consistency: he was trusted to clean up plays, generate tackles for loss, and bring veteran edge to the middle of the defense. If you want a tone-setter who shows up with production and credibility, Butler fits the bill; if you need a flashy stat-line artist, he was more of a ruthless, old-school disruptor than a highlight-reel freelancer.
