Butler was twice named Big East Player of the Week, both during his freshman year in 2005. He earned Big East Defensive Player of the Week after intercepting three passes for 122 interception return yards and a touchdown in a game against Army on October 1, 2005.

After his senior season in 2008, Butler was named to the All-Big East first team, despite not having a single interception all season.
