Explosive, Versatile, and Built for Big Plays
Tuten emerged at Virginia Tech as a high-upside back who combines breakaway speed, receiving value, and return-game utility, making him more than a standard carry-based RB. In 2024, he rushed for 1,159 yards and 15 touchdowns for the Hokies, and his college résumé also includes 91 catches for 892 yards and nine receiving TDs, which points to real three-down flexibility. What separates him is the speed/acceleration profile and one-cut run style that fits outside-zone concepts, plus enough physicality to finish runs and create after contact. He looks like a strong fit for teams wanting explosive, scheme-versatile playmakers rather than a pure volume runner.
