Butler, who recorded a single-season program record 1,318 receiving yards as a junior, is projected by some as a first-round pick in April’s draft. The Baltimore, Md. native finishes his Iowa State career with 2,149 yards and 18 receiving touchdowns, good for fourth and third in program history, respectively.
