Steward Butler’s on-field burst once stood out, but his Marshall career ended abruptly
Before his dismissal from Marshall in 2015, Steward Butler showed elite big-play efficiency in the 2014 season, rushing for 765 yards on 87 carries and 8 touchdowns while averaging 8.8 yards per carry, a mark that ranked among the nation’s best.[2] That kind of explosiveness made him intriguing as a back who could score from anywhere on the field, but his availability and fit were ultimately overshadowed by off-field legal issues that led to his removal from the team.[1][2]
