Evan Butts, TE, Virginia
6035, 255, 4.88
Notes: From Springfield, PA. Played tight end, defensive end and was the team long snapper in high school. Also played basketball, water polo and lacrosse. Redshirted in 2014. Appeared in all 12 games with 5 starts, catching 16-182-3, in 2015. Played in 8 of 12 games, missing the final 4 with an ankle injury, caught 7-46-1, in 2016. Played in all 13 games with 3 starts, caught 32-266-2, in 2017.
Positives: Dependable target. Very good hands and consistent pass catcher. Works the underneath routes nicely. Fights for yards after the catch. Steady blocker.
Negatives: Average footspeed and is not a stretch-the-field threat as a receiver.
Summary: Not spectacular, but very steady and consistent in all phases. Can make a team as a backup.
