Changes are on the horizon for Butler football in2014, but despite a new schedule, new playersand an improved level of competition, one thingthat won't change is expectations. The Grizzliesexpect nothing less than competing for a fifth-straight conference championship after having wonthe KJCCC crown in 14 of the past 16 seasons.

Butler returns just four starters from last year – twoon offense, two on defense. Still, that is a betternumber than last year when Buter had just onereturning starter on the entire team. Add in 22 returning letterwinners, a number of talented redshirts and impressive transfers, and the Grizzliesare more experienced than they generally are.

"We will be a much more experienced team in2014 than we were in 2013," Morrell said. "We willhave size and speed at every position on the fieldand we should have good depth at most positions."

All of that will be needed for the 2014 schedule,which includes no open dates and several longroad trips, including a Week 2 matchup with IowaWestern in a rematch of the 2012 national championship game. Butler will open at home withIndependence and then play arch-rival Hutchinsonin the third week of the season.

"Not having a bye week will be a challenge, as willhaving all of our road games be overnight trips,"Morrell said. "Usually we have one or two in aseason, but not five. We definitely have to beready to play our best right out of the gate with thecompetition we are going to have. We will play twoof the top five or 10 teams in the country in thefirst three weeks. Then we have to be able to carrythat through the season."

That's because Morrell expects the conference tobe better this year – the first season in whichteams have been able to recruit to fill the new 63-

man roster limits approved before last season.

"I don't see anyone in our league who won't beimproved over what they were last year – includingus," Morrell said. "There will be more talent on thefield which will lead to more competitive gamesand more exciting games for fans to enjoy."

QUARTERBACK: Butler has four players in themix this year and a competition into and throughout camp to determine the starter isexpected. Joel Blumenthal, a dual-threat typeand one of the fastest players on the team, returnsafter redshirting last year. Western Kentucky transfer Demarcus Smith joined the team thissummer, while in-state freshmen Kellen Newtonfrom Dodge City and Taymon Grabauskas fromShawnee Heights will compete for the spot also.

RUNNING BACKS: Chris Carson (109 carries,611 yards and eight touchdowns last season)returns with high expectations for his sophomoreseason, while sophomore Ja’Mon Cotton (30 carries for 121 yards last year) also returns.Morrell expects freshmen will get a good share ofthe carries.

TIGHT END: El Dorado product Trevor Crainreturns while the Grizzlies have also added DerekLee. Originally from Maize, he played his freshman season for NCAA FCS national champion North Dakota State.

WIDE RECEIVER: Perhaps the only position inwhich Butler has less experience than a year ago,Van Powell (14 receptions) Brady Moore (12receptions) and Bryce Chavis (three catches)return, but freshmen will make up the majority ofthe receiving crew this year.

OFFENSIVE LINE: While the line will be relativelyinexperienced, Morrell said he feels good about

the returners who were reserves a year ago. Theyinclude Tyler Howell, Will Smith, Brian Ochsand Matt Kellerman. Butler continues to only playwith in-state offensive lineman, which has been along-standing tradition for the program.

DEFENSIVE LINE: Butler has some definite talenton the defensive line with sophomores UlricJones and Jamon Boyd. Both are impressivephysically with a combination of athleticism andsize. Joining them will be Kansas State transferZach Befort from Bishop Carroll, who wasimpressive in spring ball at Butler. Colin Frickeyalso returns with experience for the Grizzlies.

LINEBACKERS: Phil Williamson returns after afreshman season in which he led Butler with 7.5sacks. DaVon Durant may be the highest-recruited player Butler player ever, with dozens ofhigh-major Division I offers already, but Morrellsays Durant still has a lot to prove after recordingjust 12 tackles last year. Kaleb Ringer will join thesquad as a transfer who originally signed withMichigan out of high school.

DEFENSIVE BACKS: Antwan Hadley playedboth cornerback and safety last year as neededand had two interceptions and five pass breakups.He returns, as does safety Toby Omli. Butler addsBakari Triggs, who was a two-year standout forthe basketball team. “He was a walk-on in springand was impressive from the start with his changeof direction, his speed, his competitiveness andoverall athleticism,” Morrell said.

SPECIAL TEAMS: Robert Rawlings, who hit 10field goals and 47-49 extra point attempts, is nowkicking at the University of Kansas, while punterTy Suggs has also graduated. The special teamspositions will all be open competitions going intothe fall, but Morrell believes the Grizzlies do havetalented recruits to fill those spots.

BOWL HISTORY


1981 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS

ARKANSAS CITY, Kan. -- The Butler CountyGrizzlies claimed their first national title inprogram history with a 21-14 come-from-behind victory over No. 1 NortheasternOklahoma A&M.

No. 2 Butler County rallied from a 14-pointearly deficit to defeat the top-rankedNorsemen, who turned the ball over eighttimes - including six second-half turnovers.

NEO had been ranked No. 1 in the nation allseason long, but Butler’s victory ended theNorsemen’s 23-game winning streak. TheGrizzly win brought the national championship to Kansas for the first timesince 1971, when Fort Scott won the title.

The Norseman took a 14-0 lead just lessthan halfway through the first quarter.NEO scored on its first play from scrimmageafter Butler shanked a punt on its openingpossesion. Norsemen fullback Barry Hughestook a pitch and ran 42 yards for the game’sfirst score – just 2:05 into the contest.

The Grizzlies turned the ball over on a MikeNardone interception on the next possessionat the NEO 24-yard line. The Norsemen put together a nine-play drive that resulted in a1-yard plunge over the goal line by Hughes.

Butler would get the offense going after that.After a 19-yard return by Jeff Sanders to theNEO 33, the Grizzlies would get on theboard on the first play in the second

quarter – a 5-yard scoring pass to fullbackGee Wright from Nardone.

In the third quarter, Grizzly linebacker JimNance picked off an option pass andreturned the ball to the Butler 42-yard line.Five plays later, Nardone found Dennis “Tex”Allen on a post pattern for a 42-yard touchdown to tie the game at 14-14.

Just over three minutes later, Butler took thelead for good. Following Allen’s touchdown,NEO fumbled the kickoff on their own 34-yard line and Butler defensive lineman BryanWatson was there to recover.

“Tex” Allen made a key catch near the sidelines for 10 yards that put the Grizzliesat the NEO 9-yard line. Shortly thereafter,Dennis “Lobo” Allen would score from thetwo-yard line with just 28 seconds left in thethird to put Butler up 21-14.

NEO got the ball back with six minutes to goand started from its own 20-yard line. TheNorsemen worked the ball down to the Butler13-yard line. After an unsportsmanlike conduct call against NEO moved the ballback to the 25, Butler’s Sanders picked off aTod Weder pass, but fumbled the ball back toNEO when he was hit on the return.

Norsemen tight end Steve Edwards pouncedon the football and NEO was still withingstriking distance with the ball on Butler’s 15-yard line.

On the very next play, Grizzly defensive backA.C. Poynter sealed the victory with another interception. With only 58 seconds remainingand the Norsemen out of timeouts, ButlerCounty was on its way to securing its firstnational football championship.

1998 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSDecember 4, 1998 • Real Dairy Bowl • Holt Arena • Pocatello, Idaho

POCATELLO, Idaho – Behind a 180-yardperformance from freshman running backRudi Johnson and a late touchdown pass,the Butler County Grizzlies battled back todefeat No. 1 Ricks (Idaho) 22-18 in the RealDairy Bowl in front of an estimated 12,000spectators at Holt Arena.

The victory capped a perfect 12-0 season forButler County in addition to winning its second NJCAA national championship.Butler won its first national title back in 1981with a win over Northeastern OklahomaA&M.

Butler struck first after recovering a Ricksfumble on the Vikings’ opening drive. Just afew plays later, Johnson scored the game’sfirst touchdown – an 18-yard run to giveButler a 6-0 lead less than three minutes intothe game. However, the extra-point attemptwas missed.

After a Ricks punt, Butler kicker Adam Stileswould hit a 37-yard field goal to increase thelead to 9-0.

Ricks finally got on the scoreboard with just26 seconds remaining in the first quarter.

However, the Grizzlies would put together a12-play, 75-yard drive that ended whenJohnson broke free for a 14-yard score – hissecond touchdown of the game. After another missed extra-point attempt, Butlerheld a 15-7 lead over the Vikings.

Butler went into halftime with a 15-10 advantage, as Ricks made a field goal astime expired in the first half. Instead of having the Vikings attempt a 47-yard kick,the Grizzlies were penalized twice for roughing the kicker which made the attemptfrom 25 yards out.

Ricks would take its first lead of the gamemidway through the third quarter on a 4-yardrun by quarterback Ryan Harris. A two-pointconversion by running back Steve Latergave the Vikings an 18-15 lead with 8:00 leftin the quarter.

Butler looked to be in trouble when starting

quarterback Josh Allen when down with aninjury in the third quarter. But he returned afew plays later, although not 100 percent.

With just 5 1/2 minutes left in the contestand the defense focusing on Johnson, Allenlet loose a pass for Richardson, who caughtthe ball over his shoulder and ran into theend zone for a 65-yard score and the eventual game-winning touchdown with 5:31 remaining in the game.

Heading into the game, the Rebel defensewas allowing 50 yards per game on theground before Johnson and the Grizzliesburned it for 402 yards rushing and 210yards passing for 612 yards total offense.

Dixie led 7-0 after one quarter, but it was allJohnson in the second quarter as he scoredfour rushing touchdowns to give Butler a 28-7 halftime lead.

It was more of the same in the third quarter,as Johnson caught a screen pass from Cobb

and went 17 yards for another touchdown.Dixie finally was able to respond with a stopof the Grizzly defense and a score of itsown, but Johnson would add two morescores in the quarter.

Following Dixie’s touchdown, Johnson ran 56yards up the right sideline on Butler’s firstplay. He then capped a three-play, 86-yarddrive with a 25-yard touchdown run up themiddle.

The Rebels then turned the ball over on

downs, and Johnson responded with his finaltouchdown of the day – a five-yard sweepon the left side. Butler had its biggest lead ofthe game, 49-14.

Dixie battled back to make the scorerespectable with three touchdowns in thefinal quarter, but the rally was too little.

Johnson runs wild as Grizzlies defeat Dixie for title



ST. GEORGE, Utah – The Butler footballteam followed its own script on its way towinning the 2003 National Championship.

The team that had come-from-behind to winfive of its games during the regular seasonfound itself trailing at halftime of the DixieRotary Bowl, as No. 2 Dixie (Utah) held a10-6 lead.

True to the form that kept them undefeatedall year, Butler rallied in the second half andclaimed a 14-10 win over Dixie. The victorygave the Grizzlies a perfect 12-0 record andthe national championship – Butler’s fourthtitle and third in the past six seasons.

“It’s fitting,” said Butler quarterback ChadWilmott. “It’s a perfect ending to the story.”

Butler’s defense was stellar for the entiregame, allowing Dixie only 138 yards of totaloffense and limiting the Rebels to just nineyards in the second half.

The Rebels took the first lead of the conteston a field gioal midway through the firstquarter. Dixie’s lead increased to 10-0 in thesecond quarter when Rebels defensive backBrandon Sanchez stripped the ball awayfrom Butler running back Joe Harris andreturned it 32 yards for a touchdown.

Butler would answer on the ensuing drive asReggie Smith returned the Dixie kickoff to

the Rebels 25-yard line. Grizzly running backTerry Petrie would punch the ball in from oneyard out to get Butler on the board. However,the extra-point attempt was missed and Dixieled 10-6 going into halftime.

The Grizzlies opened the third quarter with a14-play, 61-yard drive that ate up eight minutes off the clock. Butler quarterbackChad WIlmott scrambled 12 yards on a keythird-down play, then completed a 16-yardpass to Jimmie Beard.

Facing third-and-goal from the 2-yard line,Wilmott rolled to his right looking to pass,then turned and outraced the Rebel defenseto the left corner of the end zone to giveButler its first lead. Again, the Grizzliesmissed the extra point, but had a 12-10advantage over the Rebels.

Butler nearly padded the lead with anothertouchdown in the fourth quarter, but Harrisfumbled the ball at the 1-yard line on a third-down carry.

The Grizzly defense added the final twopoints of the contest with just over six minutes remaining when defensive backDavid Irons tackled Rebel punter JakeHendy in the end zone.

Late in the game, Butler’s John Jordan andTroy Johnson made interceptions to seal thevictory.

Grizzly All-American linebacker Lee Foliakifinished with 11 tackles, two quarterbacksacks and two tackles for a loss of 19 yards,whle defensive end Jeremy Mincey had sixtackles, a sack and two tackles for losses.

Theshort kick gave Butler a short field, and BeauJohnson capped the drive with a 4-yardtouchdown run for a 7-0 lead.

Snow answered with a controversial drivethat led to a touchdown. Butler defensiveback Shaunquez Powell came up with aninterception, appeared to take a knee andthrew the ball down in celebration. The officiating crew, however, ruled that Powellfumbled the ball, giving it back to Snow. TheBadgers scored on a 2-yard run by Niu Takaito make the score 7-7.

Butler, as it did all day, cranked up its powerfuloffense once again. Mike Garrison completed

a 35-yard pass to Andre Jones, setting up a 7-yard touchdown run by Randell Bell. Snowwould score another touchdown, getting withina point, but could not tie the game when theextra-point kick was blocked by Butler’sMarkus White. Butler extended the lead whenGarrison threw a 31-yard scoring pass toWayne Bonner to make it 21-13 at halftime.

Butler opened up the game in the second half.On the second play from scrimmage in thethird quarter, Beau Johnson broke his longesttouchdown run of the season, racing 80 yardsto make the score 28-13. After forcing another

Snow punt, Butler’s offense again put on ashow, this time with a 64-yard touchdown passto Wayne Bonner that gave Butler a 35-13lead. The Grizzlies continued to roll, asGarrison threw his third touchdown – a 36-yard scoring pass to Sam Jacobsen, whomade the catch despite defensive interference.

RUDI JOHNSON • 1999NJCAA NATIONAL PLAYER OF THE YEAR

AUSTIN PANTER • 2006NJCAA DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR

NATIONAL PLAYERS OF THE YEAR

There have been few, if any, players who have dominated the NJCAAover a two-year period like Butler’s Rudi Johnson did.Rudi was an all-purpose running back for the Grizzlies, who ran fornearly 1,700 yards and 15 touchdowns as a freshman in 1998, leadingButler to the NJCAA and Grid-Wire national championships. In the RealDairy Bowl, which was the national championship game, Rudi rushedfor 180 yards on 35 carries with a touchdown in the 22-18 win and collected the game’s MVP honors.In 1999, Rudi ran for a school-record 2,310 yards, making him only thesecond back in Butler history to cross the 2,000-yard threshold (BrucePerkins ran for 2,146 in 1987). He averaged 185 yards rushing pergame, an astonishing 7.3 yards per carry and piled up 31 touchdowns.In the 1999 national championship game against No. 1 Dixie College inthe Dixie Rotary Bowl, Johnson amassed 373 yards rushing on 40 carries,and scored all seven touchdowns in a 49-35 win. He was, obviously,named MVP of the bowl game for the second time in his career.In addition to being named the national player of the year, Rudi was aunanimous first-team All-American, first-team All-Jayhawk Conference,Region VI Player of the Year and the Wichita Sports CommissionCollegiate Male Athlete of the Year.Rudi spent one year at Auburn, where he piled up 1,687 yards and 13touchdowns, the sixth-best rushing total in the NCAA that year. He wasa first-team All-SEC selection and the SEC Offensive Player of the Year.After his junior season, Rudi declared for the NFL draft and was selectedby the Cincinnati Bengals with the 100th pick of the 2001 draft. He spenteight years with the Bengals, rushing for nearly 6,000 yards in his career.He was a NFL Pro-Bowl selection in 2004 and a year later, led theBengals to the playoffs for the first time in 15 years. Rudi’s last season inthe NFL was 2008, with the Detroit Lions.In his retirement, Rudi continues his philanthropic pursuits, includingthe Rudi Johnson Foundation.

For Butler Community College (Kan.) sophomore linebacker AustinPanter what a difference a year makes. After a freshman season a yearago in which he played a limited role on the field, Panter (6-4, 240) hashad a remarkable sophomore campaign. Already designated as theRegion VI Defensive Player of the Year, Panter was named the presti-gious NJCAA Defensive Player of the Year for 2006.

When told he had won the prestigious award, Panter was nearly indenial. ”Wow, winning this award is hard to believe. I had to take adeep breathe before I could take it all in,” Panter explained. “I washappy just to be named the Region VI defensive player of the year, butthis is one of the greatest honors that you can receive…it’s prettyamazing.” Panter was also quick to credit his teammates, saying “thisaward is all because of the great defense that I had around me thathelped me make plays.”

Prior to the 2006 season, Panter played in relative obscurity for theGrizzlies, primarily as a key contributor on special teams. However, theGrizzlies “Mike” linebacker played a major role for a 2006 Butler teamthat finished the season with an impressive 57-0 win over Vermilion(Minn.) in the Dalton Defenders Bowl to finish with an 11-1 overallrecord and a #3 NJCAA national ranking.

Panter worked extremely hard in Butler’s off-season weightlifting andconditioning program, adding nearly 20 pounds to his playing weight,and led the Grizzlies “Craz Dawgs” defense this season with 97 tackles,including 13 tackles for a loss.

Panter, who played 8-man football at Kensington High School (Kan.),went on to sign with the University of Michigan. He was the first two-year college transfer at Michigan in more than a decade, and finishedhis collegiate career playing two years for the Wolverines.


Markus White says he is “blessed” to have played for the ButlerCommunity College football team.

The Butler football team feels blessed to have White as one of its ownafter he spent the 2007 season wreaking havoc on opposing offenses.A transfer from Rutgers, White set a Butler school record and led theNJCAA with 25.5 quarterback sacks and also led the nation with sixforced fumbles. He recorded 97 tackles, including 15 tackles for loss.

For his efforts, Markus was named the NJCAA Defensive Player of theYear, as well as Region VI Defensive Player of the Year. White alsoearned first team NJCAA All-American, All-Jayhawk Conference and All-Region VI honors.

“It’s an honor that I greatly appreciate,” White said. “I couldn’t do any ofit without this Butler team of 2007.”

White credited the Butler coaching staff for his development, especiallylegendary defensive line coach Steve Braet, who has three former players on NFL rosters and has coached 24 All-Americans.

“Markus is very deserving of the honor. He is one of the best defensiveplayers we’ve ever had here at Butler and was a main player in the bestdefense we’ve ever had here,” Butler Coach Troy Morrell said of White.“His ability to play the run and rush the quarterback is outstanding. Hecould take over and dominate a game at any point. He’s got atremendous work ethic and his character and attitude are the main reasons why he was able to excel on the football field.”

White finished his collegiate career at Florida State, where he was atwo-year starter at defensive end on the right side. White postedcareer-highs for tackles (64), tackles for loss (12.5) and quarterbacksacks (8) in his senior season. He was selected in the seventh round(224th overall pick) of the 2011 NFL Draft by the Washington Redskins.White currently is on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers roster entering the2013 training camp.

Cornellius Carradine was the Defensive Player of the Year in theKansas Jayhawk Community College Conference and a First-TeamNJCAA All-American selection in 2010. He helped lead Butler to aKJCCC and Region 6 title as well as a berth in the 2010 NJCAAFootball Championship Game (Citizen's Bank Bowl).

The Cincinnati, Ohio, native led the KJCCC with 120 tackles (4th inNJCAA) and 16 sacks (T-2nd in NJCAA). He also had 20 tackles forloss (7th in NJCAA), two forced fumbles and four fumble recoveries,including one returned for a touchdown.

Carradine was the leader of a Butler defense that held opponents toa mere 9.5 points per game and 227.5 yards of offense during theregular season. He twice earned NJCAA Defensive Player of theWeek honors this season and his best performance of 2010 came ina 35-12 win over Garden City on Oct. 2 when he was credited with19 tackles (14 solo), including five tackles for loss and a sack.

Carradine is the third defensive player from Butler since 2006, andfourth overall, to be selected as the NJCAA Football Player of theYear. His honor also marks the fifth consecutive year that a playerfrom the KJCCC has been named either the offensive or defensiveNJCAA Football Player of the Year.

Carradine followed in the footsteps of former Butler defensive end and2007 NJCAA Football Player of the Year Markus White and played theremainder of his collegiate career at Florida State University. Carradineemerged as one of the nation’s top defensive ends in 2012 and led theSeminoles in tackles (80) until suffering a season-ending injury in theregular season finale against Florida. Carradine was selected as theACC Defensive Lineman of the Week a league-leading three times.

After finishing at Florida State, Carradine was selected in the secondround (40th overall pick) of the 2013 NFL Draft by the San Francisco49ers.
