Larry Butler III is no stranger to adversity, so trying to break into the NFL out of Division-II Southern Nazarene University is just the sort of challenge he’s ready to overcome. His road to draft day wasn’t supposed to be this way, but he’s made the most of the opportunities in front of him and is preparing to take the next step in becoming a professional football player.
At 5’11”, 236-lbs, Butler played, and excelled, at linebacker. His journey to this point has had its share of adversity, starting with going to college. After being recruited by New Mexico and the University of Houston, Butler came up short on the ACT scores required for admittance.
