Profile - Matthew Butler
Butler has been staying in shape preparing for spring football by playing on the school’s basketball team and he’ll be on the track and field team this spring.
Just prior to our interview, Matthew picked up his 12th offer from Arkansas. Maryland, Miami, Purdue, and South Carolina have also begun to show interest in Butler. “A lot of schools have said that they’ll be at my spring practices so I’ll have a chance to show what I can do.”
Georgia Tech recently received a visit from Butler. “They are high on my list.” Matthew feels that Tech is unique because they have everything he is looking for in a school. Tech will be one of the schools that Butler will be taking a serious look at as he moves forward with his recruitment.
A return visit to Tech is one of the trips Matthew will be taking this spring. Butler hasn’t decided whether he’ll visit their practices, the spring game, or both. “I do know that I will be coming back down with my parents. They like Tech a lot.” Butler also has a few other visits in mind. “I’ll need to get with my parents to see what we can do.”
Georgia Tech, Duke, North Carolina, North Carolina State, Penn State, and Virginia Tech are six schools that are standing out to Butler at this time. “If I had to choose a school right now, I feel it would come from those six.” Matthews know his recruitment has a long way to go and that this list of six could change.
Matthew hopes to become a lawyer when his playing days are over. “I want to visit schools to see if they have post graduate opportunities that will get me into law school.” Matthew is also looking for a school that will push him in the classroom and on the football field. “Distance won’t matter to me as I know sometimes you have to travel to get what you want.”
