Injuries in his first two seasons have kept him from playing a bigger role with Drexel’s squad. 

Last season, Butler made appearances in seven of the Dragons’ games, averaging 4.4 minutes per game with nine total rebounds, two assists and two steals.

He was named to the Commissioner’s Academic Honor Roll in Drexel’s Colonial Athletic Association conference last season as well. 

Butler was from the DMV area, originally from Upper Marlboro, Maryland. He was a standout player at Bishop McNamara, which has a highly-respected basketball program at the high school.
