Holman finished the season tied for the team lead in interceptions with two and racked up 7.5 tackles for loss. Holman added six pass breakups and three forced fumbles for BU. The junior had two tackles for loss against Hanover and Dayton and recorded interceptions in the games against Weber State and San Diego.
Loss led the Butler receiving corps with 56 catches for 670 yards in 2025. The redshirt junior averaged 11.96 yards per catch and averaged 55.83 receiving yards per game. Loss had one receiving touchdown and also featured in the running game scoring two touchdowns while carrying the rock 31 times for 209 yards. Loss was named an honorable mention return specialist as the Michigan native had two touchdown returns on kickoffs this season and averaged 125.7 all-purpose yards per game, a mark that led the PFL.
Short was spectacular this season for Butler going 15-for-16 while hitting a season-long 45-yard field goal. Short was 5-of-5 from 40-49, 3-of-3 from 30-39 and 7-of-8 from 20-29. The redshirt junior also served as the squad's punter and averaged 37.42 yards per punt. He was named a finalist for the prestigious Fred Mitchell Award which recognizes 41 placekickers for their excellence on the football field throughout the 2025 season.
