Butler a pivotal get for Tennessee

Trey Smith, Maleik Gray and Ty Chandler are the bell cows of the Tennessee recruiting class and for good reason.
They’re big-time guys with bright futures in Knoxville.
But you can make an argument that Wednesday’s verbal from four-star defensive lineman Matthew Butler is the most pivotal in the class.
The Vols have struggled mightily at the point of attack with injuries and inconsistent play. There’s still plenty of talent up front in 2017 and Butler immediately bolsters the group, a versatile guy that can be a disruptive presence across the front. 247Sports is higher on Butler than our peers, ranking his as the nation's No. 16 defensive tackle while he checks in at No. 34 per the industry-generated 247Sports Composite.
Butler chose to play for Tennessee over offers from the likes of South Carolina, Texas A&M, Virginia Tech, Penn State and Miami.
Long-term, I love the 6-foot-4, 265-pound Butler as a three technique. An explosive player that can quickly shoot the gap, bring a pass rush presence from the interior, a tackle for loss machine on first and second down as well. Butler had 44 tackles for loss and 26 sacks as a senior playing on the edge but has the frame to grow into one of the better three-techniques in college football.

Don't know, but our new AD may require a Butler.

Since when did every 3 star kid get upgraded to a 4 star? He's a 3 star on every recruiting site. Why say he's a 4 star? Everyone did this with Shannon Reid as well...dudes a 3 star

46 sacks his jr/sr years combined, I believe. Very impressive.

He's a four star on 247, and I tend to favor their evaluations in most cases, so I say he's a four star. If you prefer Rivals or Scout, that's fine too.

Shrine Bowl sparks several four-star updates

• Barton Simmons - 4 hours ago

Matthew Butler, NC, DT – He's now a four-star with a 91 rating.

247 rates him as a 4-star. You have to go to his profile and look for the tiny font with white letters saying he's a 4-star. His 247 composite rating (which they apparently favor, as it is big and bold and in yellow letters) is 3 stars.

For articles, they put the number of stars that will get the most clicks.
