Butler is best known for hitting a buzzer-beater in the 2023 Final Four to beat Florida Atlantic and send the Aztecs to the National Championship game.
Lamont Butler will forever be one of the most beloved players in San Diego State basketball history. He'll have one year to carve out a name for himself with one of history's most decorated programs.
Butler was a key part of three regular-season Mountain West Conference titles and a pair of MWC Tournament championships, and led the Aztecs to back-to-back trips to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament for the first time ever. In his final year of eligibility, Butler decided to see what else might be out there. It did not take long for the Wildcats to come calling.
Butler's departure opens up another scholarship for San Diego State, and Coach Brian Dutcher's staff has been active in the portal themselves, so this move will very likely lead to another player coming to America's Finest City.
