Students at Drexel University are mourning the death of one of its star basketball players, Terrence Butler. The rising junior was found dead on Aug. 2 in his on-campus apartment. Campus employee Mark Witalec described Butler as a "beautiful guy" with a "nice family". He was well-liked by fellow students and university staff, and was known for his positive attitude.
Butler was originally from Upper Marlboro, Maryland, and he had a successful career in basketball and academics. He averaged 17.8 points and seven rebounds per game during high school, and he played eight games in two seasons with the Dragons. Last season, he was listed on the Coastal Athletic Association’s Commissioner’s Academic Honor Roll.
The school released a statement on his sudden passing, expressing their condolences. They noted that he was an involved student-athlete, and that he was a friend to many throughout the University community. A tweet from Drexel Men's Basketball also honored Butler, saying “Welcome to the show, Terrence Butler!”
Butler is survived by his parents, Dena and Terrence Butler Sr, and his two older sisters, who played college basketball at Syracuse and James Madison. The cause of death has yet to be revealed, but the school is offering mental health and counseling resources for those in need. His loss is a tragedy for the Drexel community, and his memory will be cherished by all who knew him.
