OLB Jimari Butler

[Treand3]

Like Wisconsin, it's good to have kids like this to develop for a couple of years then let them go. Like it has been said, nice upside.

He is going to need two years of S&C.  

Dont think he will need to have 2 years before he steps on the field on defense.  He could be at 230ish and more than serviceable after a year in the weightroom.  Fits the mold for our Strength and Conditioning program too.  Cant add much horsepower to a 6'0-6'2 frames we have running around.

Well if he comes in the summer, he will need two years.

How does he compare to a Jamin Graham and David Alston? Seems like a similar frame but lower rated?

All pretty similarly rated, but I think Butler is twitchier than Alston for sure. I don't know enough to break down their differences, but feels maybe a little more polished than Graham. Although both are long athletes that need bulked up, but have a lot of potential.

Would feel good about pairing Butler with Johnson and Gunnerson for this class.

Butler is a much better pass rusher out of the three as proved by his stats this year

I thought they had him at Tennesee on 12/13 but he cancelled and decommitted? Maybe I read that all wrong

What were his numbers? Looked back at Alston and those were kind of rough.. 6.5 sacks senior year. Jamin Graham had 13.5 which is considerably better but still not amazing. Feel like I saw 18 somewhere but now don't know where that was or if that number belonged to someone else's stat line.
