Ebersole Named Director of Sports Information & Operations

EL DORADO, Kan. – Butler Community College Athletic Director Mike Helmer announced Wednesday the hiring of Wyatt Ebersole as Butler Community College's next director of sports information and operations.

"We're excited to welcome Wyatt back to Butler," Helmer said. "He brings great energy, a strong work ethic and valuable experience, and we're confident he'll do an outstanding job leading our sports information department."

 A Derby, Kan., native, Ebersole spent the past three years as a graduate assistant in the strategic communications department at Wichita State. He oversaw communications efforts for four Shocker sports: men's tennis, women's tennis, men's golf and women's golf. He also served as the secondary media contact for the Shocker softball team.

"It's an honor to return to Butler and be part of Grizzly Nation again," Ebersole said. "I'm grateful to Dr. Tamara Daniel, Mike Helmer, Bill Rinkenbaugh and the hiring committee for their confidence in me. I'm excited to get to work and continue telling the stories of our student-athletes and athletic department." 

Before becoming a graduate assistant at Wichita State, Ebersole spent three years as Butler's assistant and interim sports information director. From December 2022 through the summer of 2023, he served as the primary contact for all 11 Grizzly sports while covering five NJCAA national tournament teams. 

"Butler has always felt like home to me," Ebersole said. "I'm excited to work alongside our coaches and student-athletes every day and continue showcasing what makes Butler Athletics special."

He is also entering his fifth season as an MiLB official scorer for the Wichita Wind Surge, the Double-A affiliate of the Minnesota Twins.

Ebersole earned his master's degree in sport leadership studies from Wichita State in 2026 after receiving his bachelor's degree in sport management from Wichita State in 2024.
