Umatilla (Fla.) Villages Charter School four-star shooting guard Herly Brutus was released from his signing with LSU earlier on Tuesday. It didn’t take long for him to find his next home.

Brutus has committed to Butler, On3’s Joe Tipton confirms.

Brutus is ranked as the No. 119 overall player in the 2026 class, according to Rivals Industry Ranking, an equally weighted average that utilizes all three major recruiting services. He’s also the No. 24-ranked shooting guard and No. 21 recruit in the Sunshine State.

The 6-foot-5 scorer was named to Florida’s Class 3A All-State Tournament after averaging 14.0 points and 6.0 rebounds a contest as a junior.

In the PRO16 League for Tre Mann Elite prior to his senior year, he averaged 15.5 points, seven rebounds, two assists and shot 48.6 percent from the floor.
