Drexel University men's basketball player Terrence Butler was found dead Wednesday in his on-campus apartment, the school announced.

No cause of death was revealed.

Butler, a 6-7 junior forward from Upper Marlboro, Maryland, appeared in eight games over two seasons for the Dragons as he battled injuries for most of his collegiate career. He was also named to the CAA Commissioner's Academic Honor Roll last season.

"In addition to being a student-athlete, Terrence was involved in numerous activities and organizations at Drexel and was a friend to many throughout the University community," school president John Fry said in a statement.

Butler, a 2021 McDonald's All-American nominee at Bishop McNamara High School in Forestville, Maryland, is survived by his parents Terrence and Dena, and sisters Tasia and Tiara, who played college basketball at James Madison and Syracuse.
