Vincent Butler brought a physical, playmaking edge to New Mexico State’s secondary
In the 2007 season, Vince Butler played in 11 games for New Mexico State, started five, and produced 29 tackles, one sack, two pass breakups, and a fumble recovery. He stood out as a tough, matchup-ready defensive back who could be trusted against quality competition—his best game came against Auburn, where he posted eight tackles, his first career sack, and a breakup. The bigger takeaway: he looked like a versatile, aggressive DB with top-receiver experience from junior college, making him the kind of defender coaches like when they want reliability and physicality.
