REPORTS: Butz enters transfer portal

Western Kentucky forward Jaylen Butz has entered the transfer portal, according to multiple reports Tuesday.

The Verbal Commits Twitter account was the first to report Butz’s entrance to the portal.

The 6-foot-9, 230-pound redshirt senior forward was in his first year at WKU in the 2021-22 season after transferring from DePaul, but in his final season of eligibility. He didn’t play during the 2020-21 season while at DePaul and entered the transfer portal in January of that season. He’d need a waiver for an additional year.

Butz started the Hilltoppers’ first four games but saw his minutes decrease as the season progressed.
