Coach Butler

Many of you started your senior year with D1 or D2 expectations. Maybe you had a certain vision of how your recruitment was going to go, and even if you feel like you had the season to back it up, the opportunities just haven’t come your way. Yes, you can wait and see what happens, but I want you to understand that the D3 opportunities sitting in front of you right now may end up being the best thing that ever happened to you. My biggest piece of advice is this: Go where you are wanted. Go where you are valued. Go where you have an opportunity to play and make an impact. Don’t settle on a school simply because of the name on the front of the jersey or how it looks to people on the outside. Not everybody else’s opinion is going to determine your happiness, your development, or your future. Find the best fit for YOU. Find a coaching staff that believes in you, a school that invests in you, and a program where you have the opportunity to grow both on and off the field.
