HATTIESBURG — The Southern Miss football wide receivers room has added some serious size.
Class of 2023 prospect Javieon Butler, listed at 6-foot-5, 194 pounds by 247Sports, announced his verbal commitment to play for the Golden Eagles on Sunday.
Butler also held an offer from Louisiana-Monroe.
The in-state prospect plays high school football for Scott Central in Forest.
Butler is the eighth prospect to commit to Southern Miss so far in the 2023 cycle, and the fifth from the state of Mississippi.
An unranked prospect according to 247, Butler was a standout receiver for last season's Scott Central state title team.
