The St. Louis native graduated from De Smet high school as a 3-star recruit, running for over 2,000 yards in his high school career. Butts held offers from Illinois, Louisville, Indiana, Iowa State and others.

He redshirted during the 2021 season before appearing in seven games this past year, recording one reception for 10 yards against Kentucky.
