🔼 Tomorrow, Tomorrow. It’s been five months since we’ve seen the Butler Football program in action.

That all changes tomorrow as the annual Spring Game is set for tomorrow afternoon at the Sellick Bowl. Kickoff is set for 12 pm and admission is FREE!

🔼 Welcome To The Fam. The newest additions to the Butler men’s basketball program were announced this week.

Four-star forward Herly Brutus, along with incoming transfer guard Jordan Ellerbee, officially signed to join the Bulldogs for the 2026-27 season.

Brutus, a 6-7 wing from Eustis, Fla., finished his prep career at The Villages Charter School. He is the No. 98-ranked player in the Class of 2026 according to the 247Sports Composite.

Ellerbee arrives at Butler after earning ASUN All-Freshman Team honors at Florida Gulf Coast. He has three years of eligibility remaining. Last season, he played in all 34 games for FGCU, starting 24, while averaging 13.1 points per game, which ranked 15th in the ASUN. His 446 points were a program record for an FGCU freshman.

🔼 Big Time Battle. Coming down the stretch, each weekend becomes more and more critical.

With just three BIG EAST series remaining, the Butler Softball team hits the road this weekend for a big time conference battle with Georgetown.

The Bulldogs currently sit in fourth place, the final spot in next month’s BIG EAST Tournament, while the Hoyas sit just behind Butler, two games back of the ‘Dawgs.

🏀 A NEW ERA OF BUTLER HOOPS

A new era of Butler Basketball is officially here with Butler alums Ronald Nored and Maria Marchesano returning to Indianapolis to take over the reigns of the ‘Dawgs.
