CB Darius Butler
Connecticut

By the numbers:
Height Weight 40 Speed Age
5-11 183 4.45 23

Butler, a two-year team captain, was first-team all-Big East in 2008. He doesn't have the size to provide much assistance stopping the run, and he could risk injury by flying into piles. He started all 45 career games and also took some snaps on offense, catching nine passes for a 13.7-yard average. He was the first player in Big East history to score on a kickoff return, interception, reception, and rushing attempt in a career.
