Butler announced on social media Monday that he will return to San Diego State for his senior season.
"Let's run it back," Butler said in the video. The two-year starter is the most important piece now back in place for Brian Dutcher. His presence could help the Aztecs carry a Top-15 ranking into the season for the first time in program history.Sign up for NBC San Diego newsletters.
Butler averaged 8.8 points per game as a junior, but his modest scoring numbers fall short in illustrating his impact on the Aztecs. The Moreno Valley native led the team in both assists and steals. The latter helped him become Mountain West Defensive Player of the Year. His suffocating style of play on that end of the floor was on display throughout the Tournament.
Butler declared for the NBA Draft on the strength of a six-game run that earned him a spot on the NCAA All-Tournament team. In the process he retained his college eligibility and withheld his name from the transfer portal - despite offers to make more NIL money elsewhere.
