Football Butcher was a prominent football player for Robert Neyland's Tennessee Volunteers from 1925 to 1928. Butcher was selected for a 1920s All-Tennessee football team.
1927 Butcher was selected All-Southern at the center position in 1927. His play against Vanderbilt helped secure the spot, as he outplayed Vandy center Vernon Sharpe, who arguably had the better season. One of the All-Southern teams was to face an all-star squad of Pacific Coast players, and as a result the basketball team took a significant hit from the loss of its captain Butcher.
