Arkansas’s longtime leg of distinction
Richie Butler’s Arkansas profile is anchored in consistency and big-leg production: the Razorbacks list him with 231 career punts for 9,546 yards, a 41.3-yard career average, and a 42.5-yard season average in 2001, which still places him among the program’s all-time punting leaders[1][2][3]. He stands out as the kind of punter who gives a defense field-position leverage, with multiple record-book appearances for volume, distance, and season average[1][2][5]. If the fit is a punter who can handle heavy workloads and flip the field, Butler looks like a strong, proven option.
