steady Butler DB who’s earning snaps with reliability, not flash
In the 2025 season, Nick Cloyd logged 3 tackles for Butler and has steadily moved into the DB rotation after appearing in three games as a freshman in 2024, when he recorded a tackle at Presbyterian. He’s a compact 5'11", 170-pound defensive back from Brownsburg who looks like a dependable, assignment-sound fit rather than a highlight-reel gambler. The best reason to care? He’s already shown he can earn time and contribute in limited duty, which is exactly the kind of quietly useful profile coaches love.
