Jared Butler Alabama

Jared Butler arrived in Alabama in summer 2018; but he didn’t take part in the team’s preseason drills and by August 19, 2018, he decided to transfer to Baylor and requested an unconditional release from his letter of intent.

“It seemed weird that I wasn’t getting recruited by Baylor until the last period,” Butler said. “So I thought maybe they didn’t want me as much. I was told later they didn’t have a spot [initially] and were guard-heavy. I don’t know why I took it personally but I did.”
