Time spent in Tuscaloosa made Sutter feel at home

“Going there it’s a great place. I see myself there and the overall fit. Last year they played with a tight end every down and it’s cool to see. They’re getting those guys on the field.”

Sutter also visited for the Iron Bowl. It was an atmosphere he can’t wait to play in.

“The fans showed up and were unreal all game,” Sutter said. “The Tide will always be the Tide so having the chance to play for such an amazing place is awesome. They have a great program.”
