BUTLER BULLDOGS NEWS

Jalen Jackson - Back at practice Jackson (ankle) is practicing for Butler while still donning a walking boot, per Akeem Glaspie of The Indianapolis Star.

Impact Jackson is reportedly still limited, as he remains bogged down by a walking boot. Still, he's partaking in individual drills, a great sign that the starting guard is progressing. He remains a question mark for Saturday against Boise State, but he's clearly trending in the right direction. Before sustaining his ankle injury, Jackson was averaging 9.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.8 assists.

Drayton Jones - Five blocks Tuesday Jones amassed five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist and five blocks in 17 minutes during Tuesday's 84-68 victory over Eastern Michigan.

Impact Jones, who had not recorded a block in five straight games, exploded with five stuffs versus Eastern Michigan. He now has eight blocks this season and all of them have come in just two of the Bulldogs' eight games. He has started every game this season but has only played over 18 minutes once which hurts his ability to put up big scoring and rebounding numbers.

Finley Bizjack - Shines in Tuesday's win Bizjack totaled 29 points (10-14 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, four assists and two steals across 31 minutes during Tuesday's 84-68 victory over Eastern Michigan.

Impact Bizjack continued his excellent run of form Tuesday as he scored a season-high 29 points, his sixth consecutive game with at least 18 points. He also set season highs in field goal percentage and three-pointers made, giving him a high-efficiency and high-volume outing. He's now averaging a team-high 19.0 points per game this season and will look to continue his hot streak Saturday versus Boise State.

Finley Bizjack - Scores 20 as Butler rolls Bizjack logged 20 points (7-16 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds and one steal in 32 minutes during Friday's 94-69 victory over Wright State.

Impact With his third 20-plus point game this season, Bizjack now leads the Bulldogs in scoring at 17.6 ppg through seven contests. He's now on pace for a career-best 47.1 percent from the field in his third season with the program. While the ancillary stats leave a bit to be desired, the scoring alone will keep Bizjack on the fantasy radar for a Butler team that's off to a 6-1 start.

Michael Ajayi - Just shy of seventh-straight double-double Ajayi provided 20 points (8-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-6 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 32 minutes during Friday's 94-69 win over Wright State.

Impact Ajayi has been one of the breakout fantasy contributors this season with Butler after serving as a secondary option for Gonzaga a season ago. He's scored in double figures in all seven games this season for the Bulldogs, and while Friday was the first time he failed to pull down double-digit boards, he's still averaging a tremendous 11.9 rpg on the season. Butler is quietly off to a 6-1 start to the 2025-26 season, and Ajayi has been a big part of the reason why.

Jalen Jackson - Out with ankle injury Jackson (ankle) is out for Friday's game against Wright State, per Butler's official X page.

Impact Jackson has yet to miss a full game this season amidst an ankle injury that he suffered on Nov. 11, but it appears it has flared up before the matchup versus the Raiders. The senior guard's absence should pave the way for Evan Haywood to get his first start of the season. Jackson's next chance to see the court will be this upcoming Tuesday at home in a clash with Eastern Michigan.
