He made 315 career tackles, 66 tackles for loss and 35 sacks as a four-year starter for the Black Knights and was named All-Northwest North Carolina in each of his final three seasons and was played in the 2015 Under Armour All-American Game.[1]

College career

Tuttle played four seasons for the Tennessee Volunteers.[2] His freshman season was cut short after only six games, recording ten tackles and a fumble recovery, after suffering a broken fibula and tearing a ligament in his ankle against Georgia.[3] Tuttle's sophomore year also ended prematurely when he sustained a season-ending injury in his first career start against South Carolina.[4] In his junior season, Tuttle played in ten games (four starts) and made 27 tackles (2.5 for loss).[5] As a senior, he started all 12 of Tennessee's games and made 33 tackles (2.5 for loss) with one sack, an interception and two blocked kicks.[6]
