Former Butler basketball player Andrew Smith passed away on Tuesday morning, following battles with non-Hodgkin lymphoma and leukemia. He was 25 years old.
Smith, a 2013 graduate of the university, played on both of Butler’s Final Four teams in 2010 and 2011. He was a starter as a sophomore on the 2011 team, averaging 8.5 points and 5.6 rebounds as the Bulldogs went all the way to the national championship game before losing to Connecticut.
But when looking back at the legacy that Andrew Smith leaves behind, basketball is just a footnote.
