Drexel forward Terrence Butler was found dead in his on-campus apartment on Wednesday, the university announced.
A cause of death was not immediately known.
“On behalf of the entire Drexel community, we extend our deepest sympathy to Terrence’s family, friends and teammates,” university president John Fry said in a statement. “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.”
Butler, a junior from Upper Marlboro, Md., was a reserve on the team. The 6-foot-7 forward averaged 0.6 points, 1.3 rebounds and 4.4 minutes played in seven games off the bench last season for the Dragons.
He is survived by his parents, Terrence Sr. and Dena, and two sisters, Tasia and Tiara.
