Hawks Hall of Fame
Reginald Butler played on the Hawk hardwood from the 1967-1971.
Butler was a starting point guard for all four years of his collegiate career. As the facilitator of the Hawk offense, Butler's squads won more games over a four year span than any other four year block of Hawk basketball. In a time when assists were not tracked, it is believed that Butler would still stand atop the all-time assists list at UMES. A student of Hall of Fame Coach Joe Robinson, Butler played on teams with five UMES Hall of Famers and helped lead the Hawks to NAIA District Championships in 1969 and 1970
Butler earned his degree in Physical Education in 1971 and went on to a 36 year career with the Department of Defense.
