🏈 COUNTIN’ THE DAYS: 1️⃣7️⃣ DAYS
Throughout the summer, we will be counting down the days
to the return of Butler Football this fall. The Bulldogs will
host Georgetown College on August 29 at 1 p.m.
For five seasons, #1️⃣7️⃣ Danny Orgler was a staple amongst the Butler Football program.
For five years, the Illinois native poured his heart and soul into the ‘Dawgs and it showed as the recent grad concluded his Butler career last fall, leaving an indelible mark on the program.
Orgler battled injuries throughout his career, but toughed his way through 32 games, including 23 over his final two seasons. He racked up 69 tackles, 23.5 of which were for a loss. He finished with 10 sacks, six pass deflections and one career INT.
Single-game tickets for Butler's fall sports are on sale NOW!
Bulldog fans can purchase tickets to football, volleyball, women's soccer and men's soccer contests with games beginning next month at the Sellick Bowl and Hinkle Fieldhouse on the Butler campus.
