Butler attended Eisenhower High School in Rialto, California, where he was a teammate of future NFL player Ryan Clady. He played as a defensive end (only as a senior), wide receiver, safety and kick returner. He was a two-time All-league selection and was named All-county as a senior.
He accepted a scholarship from Oregon State University, where he played at defensive end. As a sophomore, he appeared in 14 games and had 17 tackles. The next year, he played in 13 games (one start) and led the team with 10.5 sacks (third in the conference). As a senior, he was named team captain and posted career-highs in sacks (12, tied for school record), tackles for a loss (21.5, school-record), quarterback pressures (5), forced fumbles (4) and tackles (65), while being named first-team All-Pac-10. He tied a school single game sack record (4) in the 2008 Sun Bowl, on his way to being named the game's MVP.
He finished his college career after appearing in 49 games, registering 110 tackles (60 solo), 26 sacks (second in school history), 39.5 tackles for loss (fourth in school history), six forced fumbles, five fumble recoveries, five passes defensed and one blocked kick.
