MINNEAPOLIS - Hendrix defensive tackle Adonnis Butler has been named to the 22nd annual D3football.com All-America second team, which was announced Monday. He is the third Warrior in the last five seasons to earn an All-America selection but first defensive player to garner the honor and first player in program history to receive a second team mention.

Butler, who was named to the All-Southern Athletic Association (SAA) first team on March 26, helped guide the Orange and Black to the league's West Division crown and a spot in the SAA championship game in the abbreviated 2020-21 season. He spearheaded the league's best overall defense (266.3 ypg), second-ranked pass defense (182.5 ypg) and rush defense (83.8 ypg) which tied for second.

In four games, Butler led Hendrix in sacks, tackles for loss and quarterback hurries, tied for the top spot in pass breakups and was second in total tackles.

Because of the limited number of teams participating and games played during the pandemic, no players or coach of the year were named for 2020-21.

The All-America team, comprised of 53 players and selected by D3football.com staff, was chosen from nominations by Division III sports information directors.
