Baylor has terminated the employment of associate director of football operations DeMarkco Butler on Monday, according to Baylor football spokesperson David Kaye.
“DeMarkco Butler is no longer employed by Baylor University,” Kaye wrote in an email to The Lariat. “As a personnel matter, we have no further comment.”
According to KWTX, Butler was released following an incident involving inappropriate text messages with a teenager. School official indicated the individual is considered an adult under Texas statute.
Butler was hired on Feb. 15 by new head football coach Matt Rhule, according to USA Today Sports.
