Four-star Jordan Butler took his first official visit two weeks ago to South Carolina. The 6-foot-11 power forward has set his second official visit to Missouri on September 16.

Butler is the No. 42 ranked player in On3’s 2023 class. He is the 2023 On3 Consensus No. 95 player.

Butler averaged 14.4 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 3.8 blocks per game for his Greenville (SC) Christ Church Episcopal team. He shot 50 percent from the field.

Butler had a visit scheduled with Florida State last weekend, but they had to reschedule. The Seminoles’ were renovating their court floor. They have not rescheduled the visit yet.

Butler is the younger brother of New Orleans Pelicans rookie John Butler. Butler was a one-and-done forward at Florida State.

Butler’s scouting report

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.
