The redshirt-freshman post appeared in 26 of the Eagles' games.  Butts averaged 2.7 points and 2.1 rebounds per game on 45.3 percent shooting.  He topped out at nine points against Lenoir-Rhyne (12/1) and set a new career high for rebounds against Erskine (1/1) and Newberry (1/29) with five in each game.  Butts led the Eagles in blocks in four games. 

2020-21: After sitting out the first three games of the year due to injury, Butts came off the bench in 19 games while averaging 3.7 points and 2.1 rebounds in 11.8 minutes per game.  Butts made an instant impact in his second career game, swatting four shots in 17 minutes at Anderson (1/9).  He produced his lone double-digit scoring effort against Catawba (2/6) with 11 points on 5-of-7 shooting.  He also had a season-best four boards against the Indians. 

HIGH SCHOOL:  Butts averaged nine points and seven rebounds a game while helping Langston Hughes to back-to-back state titles as a freshman and sophomore.   He earned all-region honors as both a junior and a senior.  In addition to basketball, Butts also competed for Langston Hughes track and field program. 

PERSONAL: The son of  Priscilla and Eric Butts.  He plans to study business administration at Carson-Newman.  In high school he was a member of both the A/B and Super Honor Roll.
