The Bessemer, Ala., native played five seasons at Boston College from 2021-25. During that time frame, Hutchins notched 73 total tackles (31 solo and 42 assisted), 5.5 sacks, one pass defended, one forced fumble, and one interception.

Bowry and offensive lineman Logan Taylor received invites to the East-West Shrine Bowl earlier in the year, however, Hutchins has been the only one to accept.
