Luke Butts of Antioch, Illinois, was named the new head coach of the Blue Jays Football Program.

Butts comes to Westminster with an impressive record after serving 11 years at Lake Forest College in Lake Forest, Illinois. He recently completed his seventh year as the Foresters' defensive coordinator and sixth as linebackers coach after directing the cornerbacks for the previous five seasons.

During his tenure with the Foresters, Butts served as academic coordinator, where under his leadership, Forester Football achieved a team GPA of 3.00 for the first time in school history. He also was Lake Forest's special teams coordinator for five years and served as the staff's recruiting coordinator. Butts earned the opportunity to serve as associate head football coach in 2021.

Under his guidance as associate head coach and defensive coordinator, the Foresters won back-to-back Midwest Conference Championships for the first time in school history in 2021 and 2022, in turn qualifying for the NCAA Division III tournament in successive seasons. Additionally, with Butts' assistance, the team's overall record since 2021 has been an impressive 26-6. This past season, his defense led all of NCAA Division III in scoring defense, third down percentage, total defense and passing efficiency defense. This success has led to Butts recently being named one of five finalists for the 2023 Footballscoop Division III Coordinator award.
