Scouting Report

He has top-end speed, running a reported 40-time of 4.21. Can really stretch the field vertically as a home run threat, but is also capable of turning an underneath route into an explosive play in the blink of an eye. Not necessarily a possession receiver, meaning he's not someone you're probably going to target much in the red zone. He's more of a catch-and-run/deep ball type of receiver.

Projected Playing Time

Immediately. Hutchins will compete for the starting role opposite of Cam Vaughn at the Z, but can also be of service inside at the slot as well. Not having a legitimate threat on the other side of the field this past season really took opportunities away from Vaughn because there was so much attention geared toward him and no one else.

TUNE IN TONIGHT TO WEST VIRGINIA ON SI

Later tonight, we will have our annual National Signing Day special on our YouTube Page (West Virginia On SI). Be sure to subscribe to the channel to get a notification the second the episode drops. On this year's show, we'll be joined by offensive lineman Camden Goforth and pass rusher Noah Tishendorf. We'll offer a full breakdown of the 2026 class, discussing who could contribute or start from day one, who may need some time to develop, under-the-radar signees, and what the remaining needs are for the Mountaineers in the transfer portal.
