Iowa State’s Butler headed to NFL

January 8, 2019 By Todd Kimm

Hakeen Butler

Iowa State All-American Hakeem Butler, who recorded the finest individual season by a Cyclone wide receiver in school history this fall, announced he will enter his name for the 2019 NFL Draft and forgo his final season of eligibility at Iowa State.

Butler announced his decision on Twitter.

“Thank you Cyclone Nation, you have helped me out greatly and I’m so thankful for everything that you have done for me,” Butler wrote. “You gave me a chance to be more than a football player and became a part of a huge family that I will forever be a part of. I want to thank Coach Campbell for giving me the opportunity to showcase my talents every Saturday. Lastly, I want to thank my teammates. Y’all are my brothers and the experiences you gave me I will never forget.”

The Baltimore, Maryland., native was a big-play machine in 2018, obliterating ISU’s single-season receiving mark (1,318) and ranking third nationally in yards per catch (22.0), setting another school mark along the way.

Butler, who ranked ninth nationally in receiving yards per game (101.4), tied the school record for 100-yard receiving games in a season, reaching the century mark six times during the year.
