Former UK Walk-Ons are Proud and Thankful for Scholarship Opportunity

Butler, a senior placekicker from Paducah Tilghman, was equally grateful.

“I first want to thank coach Stoops for the opportunity. He’s been gracious to me ever since I’ve been here. He’s supported me and given me every opportunity I could have asked for…Just a little 150 pound kid, for him to come to me, talk to me and trust me means a lot.”
