4-star Jordan Butler sets official visit to South Carolina, Florida State

Greenville (S.C.) Christ Church Episcopal School four-star center Jordan Butler tells On3 he will officially visit South Carolina on August 19-21, followed up by Florida State on August 27-28.

The 6-foot-11 center ranks as the No. 54 overall prospect in the 2023 class, according to the On3 Consensus, the average ranking from all four major recruiting media companies. He’s also the No. 6 center and the No. 1 player in the state of S.C.

The Gamecocks will be the first program this year to host Butler, a South Carolina native, for an official visit. However, it won’t be his first time on campus as he stopped by unofficially in June earlier this year. The same can be said about Florida State. Butler visited the Seminoles in October of 2021 but will return to Tallahassee officially at the end of the month. Jordan’s older brother, John Butler, spent one season at Florida State before turning pro. Despite going undrafted, John most recently competed in Summer League for the New Orleans Pelicans.

Georgia and Virginia Tech have also both hosted Jordan Butler unofficially. In addition, he holds offers from Alabama, Georgia Tech, Wake Forest, Clemson, and others.

Butler Scouting Summary

“Jordan Butler has a very projectable 6-foot-10 frame. He has good length and moves very fluidly. The skill-set is what sticks out immediately. He can knock down jump shots from three and get to his spots off one and two dribbles. The strength will need to continue to come, but he is young for his grade, which should continue to add naturally. Butler has good footwork in the mid-post, and he has a go-to on the block over his left shoulder. There is continued progression here with current production and a lot of upside to go.“
