James Butler

Running BackRB
Productive in BC return
RBBC
June 8, 2025
Butler rushed 10 times for 68 yards and a touchdown and brought in three of four targets for 22 yards in the Lions' 31-14 win over the Elks on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Butler was playing in his first regular-season game as a member of the Lions since Oct. 28, 2022, and he commemorated the occasion with a signature dual-threat performance. The veteran back scored his touchdown on a four-yard run just past the midway point of the fourth quarter, and he filled his usual role as an effective outlet option out of the backfield. Mobile quarterback Nathan Rourke is likely to steal some goal-line opportunities from Butler this season, but the latter still eclipsed 1,000 rushing yards and recorded seven rush TDs when they played together in BC back in 2022.
