Expert Analysis
Chris Smith | Prep Redzone Scout
The best players usually shine brightest on the biggest stage and that’s what Tutt did in his team’s 62-21 title game victory over Ravenwood. While Tutt is destined to play defense in college, his work on offense has been exceptional, especially within this championship as the future Ole Miss Rebel ran 32 times for 226 yards and 7 touchdowns against the Raptors. His athleticism and speed was too much to handle for the Ravenwood defense and it was without question that Tutt was certainly the game MVP that could have ran for more yards had we played another quarter.

The four-star Ole Miss commit showed why he’s one of the best players in the nation on Friday night. Not only did he have a good day defensively with several key tackles and good coverage in the back end of the Oakland secondary, but Tutt was also fantastic offensively.
He had nearly 200 total yards and four touchdowns to punch his team’s ticket to Chattanooga, where he’ll look to capture his third state championship.

is a downhill runner with excellent pad level and the ability to hammer out tough yards after contact. He shows great vision working between the tackles and rarely hesitates when hitting the crease. Tutt’s balance through contact makes him a reliable chain-mover who can wear down defenses over four quarters. His lateral agility allows him to bounce plays when necessary, but his best attribute is still his north-south physicality. Defensively, he brings the same toughness, showing the ability to shed blocks and finish tackles in space. Expect him to influence this matchup on both sides of the ball with his physical tone-setting style.
