Whitmer alum Cavon Butler transferring to Toledo

Whitmer alumnus Cavon Butler is returning home to play football.

The former three-star recruit, according to 247Sports, announced on Twitter that he is transferring from the University of Kentucky to the University of Toledo.

“I’m coming home,” Butler tweeted along with photos of himself in Toledo football uniform. One photo attached included a thumbtack into Toledo’s location on the Ohio map, with the caption “Home is home” next to it.

A freshman in 2019, Butler was offered by Massachusetts, Cincinnati, West Virginia, and Alabama. He made official visits to Michigan State and Ohio State.

The 6-foot-3, 302-pound defensive tackle redshirted as a freshman last season, entering in one game for the Wildcats.
