Willie Butler gives South Carolina State a tiny-but-real spark in the backfield
In the 2026 season, Willie Butler has a small but efficient sample for South Carolina State: 1 carry for 5 yards and a 5.0-yard average, which hints at clean, decisive running when his number is called.[1][2] The stat line is too light to crown him a feature back, but the early efficiency suggests a compact, low-mistake runner who can make the most of limited touches.[1][2] For a roster fit, he looks like a depth and change-of-pace option rather than an every-down bell cow.[1][2]
