Andrew Butcher taking medical exemption

[Vol_sanity]

Looks like his football career at UT is over. He posted on Instagram. Best of luck to him.

I'm sorry. He kept trying to get back out there for quite a while, but everybody gotta decide what is best for them.

Here is his statement

 

[allvol123]

Hate that for any kid.

 

[davethevol]

I'm sorry for him, but glad he's getting his degree.

 

[dduncan4163]

Damn I hate this so much. The kid had unlimited potential and gave it his all. We're proud of Andrew and you will always be a VFL Hoss

 

[CoaxialOrange]

God Bless you Andrew. You are a VFL!

 

[CountVolcula]

That sucks. I wanted to see him kick ass on the field

 

[Biopsyman]

Should be thankful at 40 to walk around no pain or injury

 

[thunder5]

Hate to hear it but seems like it's for the best...wish him nothing but the best

Does this mean he has to pay his own way or does the exemption cover school?

 

[jonnon111]

I am sorry that he suffered through so many injuries and I am really happy he is getting his degree.


1) this explains taking so many DL in recruiting
2) does a medical exemption open up his scholarship?

 

[BlackCreekVol]

Medical exemption slows him to stay on scholarship but doesn't count towards the 85 man roster

Good...for him and the team

Sounds like a great guy with a good head on his shoulders. Hate to see it end this way.

 

[joevol33]

Hate that for him.

 

[Stoerner's Fumble]

Good luck Andrew. Difficult decision to face for a young man.

 

[vollygirl]

Hate that. Sounds like he has as good of an attitude as you can though.

 

[KBVol]

Best of luck to him. Class statement from him, glad he'll still be able to get his degree at UT.

 

[Dudleys87]

Damn.


Head up kid! Bigger things on the horizon!

 

[volfannbama]

Good Luck Man.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Hate that for him. Wish him nothing but the best.

 

[Jax_Vol]

Best of luck Andrew!

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

He could have a good one if he stayed healthy. I'm glad his brains prevailed over his desire to play football. I'm afraid to see how bad Trevarris Saulsberry is hobbling around 10 years from now without a knee replacement.

Hopefully Butcher makes the most of his degree and leaves a positive mark on the world around him!

 

[Dudleys87]

For those that know what could cause multiple surgeries, scopes, etc?

Tia.

 

[Dudleys87]

Still one of the best names to ever wear orange

IMO.
