Indiana coach Tom Allen said in October that he met with Tuttle about his plan to enter the portal and respects the senior’s desire to use his final year of eligibility elsewhere. Tuttle started games after Penix was injured in 2020 and 2021, helping Indiana to a road upset of Wisconsin in 2020.
“I love my teammates and I’m not going to leave them in the season,” Tuttle told HoosiersNow.com in October. “I know there are a ton of other people in the NCAA who leave in the middle of the season and I’m not going to do that. Nor will I let this be a distraction or affect how I prepare and lead the team. This just gives me the best chance to play next year and be in the best spot.”
He had not played this season but came in with 819 career pass yards with four touchdowns and six interceptions.
