WR Dontavius Butler from Florida.

Welcome to Pitt!!

Kid is extremely physical; loves to block, has speed and size. He also has good hands and fights for the ball.

He's somewhat under the radar because his HS team just runs the ball all the time. Word is that they plan to use him more as a pass receiver his senior season, in which case, he could play up in terms of getting attention, and other P5 schools could come after him. He seems pretty strongly committed to Pitt though.

Welcome to PITT Mr. Butler!

WR U!

Im thinking he could be the type that the staff takes a chance on early and then he blows up his senior year. Hopefully.

His HS coach is Patrick Surtain who was a DB in the NFL for a number of years. He said that Butler didn't have many receptions last year because their primary target was a TE who is freshman at Mich this year.

I see some shades of Boyd on his Recruiting Tape and very good blocking. I leave it to Lair Posters Experts on Recruiting and Posters on Player Development to share what they know on the Lair. meanwhile Pitt moved up in recruiting on rivals by adding his name and so HERE IT IS....WELCOME Dontavius Butler to PITT IS IT!

There is no such thing as under the radar on a Florida state championship team that is loaded with top prospects. It didn't stop WR Brandon Johnson from getting offers from multiple SEC school and signing with Tennessee or Jay Eubanks from signing with Michigan and getting offers from everywhere. Another major advantage Florida high schools have is spring practice is held during the NCAA evaluation period so he had the opportunity to work out in front of the dozens of college coaches there to see the other top prospects at the school.

He could be another Antonio Bryant, under the radar but with a great skill set.

Really smart guy? You ever heard of Antonio Bryant (Biletnikoff Award)? Greg Romeus (Big East Defensive Player of the Year)? Both had only one other scholarship offer. Nobody asked you...

That doesn't really fit Romeus' situation.
