Butler is the lone non-Power 5 nominee in the category which includes Brian Rice (Tennessee), Chris Plank (Oklahoma), DJ Sanchez (Oklahoma), Mattie Fowler Burkhardt (Nebraska) and Tom Canterbury (Alabama).
The current Voice of Bulldog football and men’s basketball also serves as the sport administrator for Lady Techster softball with part of his responsibilities including serving as the play-by-play voice for home and road games.
Butler won the 2022 Golden Mic for the Radio Play-by-Play Call of the Year with his call of Katelin Cooper’s walk-off, bases-loaded triple in the bottom of the seventh inning in the regular season finale that gave the Lady Techsters the Conference USA regular season title.
During his broadcasting career he has also placed six times in the Louisiana Sports Writers Association College Broadcaster of the Year, including capturing the top honor in 2017 and the runner-up for the award in 2013 and 2016.
