🔼 A Family Affair. The holidays are a great time to get the family together.

The Butler men’s hoops program did exactly that as the ‘Dawgs had decades represented at the annual Alumni Day this past weekend.

🔼 We’ll Take A Dozen. Under the tree wasn’t the only place that the Bulldogs received some gifts this holiday season.

During the break, Phil Steele and the DraftScout.com staff announced all-league players from every FCS conference. Butler had 12 student-athletes selected to the Pioneer Football League Teams in 2025. Four made the first team, four were on the third team, and four more were on the fourth team.

Charles Mackley (OL), Devaon Holman (DB), Ryan Short (K) and Ethan Loss (KR) represented Butler as the First Team All-PFL selections on the Phil Steele release. Both Mackley and Holman were named to the All-PFL First Team as chosen by the league's coaches earlier in December.

Ethan Loss (WR), Jeremiah Jackson (LB), Mason Armstrong (LB) and Will Mason (DB) made the third team, Andrew Raegan (QB), Preston Brady (FB), Nik Belski (OL) and Kirk Doskocil (OL) were on the fourth team.

🔼 Conference Clashes. With the calendar turning to 2026, the Butler hoops calendar has also fully turned into conference play for both programs.

Both teams return to Hinkle this week for BIG EAST showdowns with the men’s squad hosting St. John’s on Tuesday and the women back at home on Wednesday for a showdown with Georgetown. Tip-off for both contests are set for 7 p.m.
