Declared for draft. Changed his mind. Decides to transfer. Has now withdrawn his name from the transfer portal.

Before the ugly comments I'd love to see this crazy story end with him playing another year for AU.

If anyone can fix his coverage issues it's coach Zac and Mason. He's a great player in run support.

He's been an exceptional punt returner. I wouldn't mind having him back, we have plenty of slots available under the 85 limit.

plenty will have some nonsense to say about it but I can totally understand the uncertainty in his situation.  I think it's a great thing he withdrew from the draft, and like you, hope he sticks around.  

[j0hnnyRingo 1,445]

You have to think Zac got on campus and had a chat with him.

 

What drama though.. Opts out of the bowl game, declares for draft, signs with agent, decides not to go to the nfl early, enters portal, exits portal, stays in Auburn.  

 

Whoever is giving this guy advice needs to hit the road.

[DAG 33,977]

People were hating on this guy when he wanted to explore, now watch him come back and y’all will be back all over him smh

It's been a wild and winding week for Auburn defensive back Christian Tutt.

The junior defensive back signed with a NFL agent on Jan. 7, per a report from Auburn Undercover. A few days later, he reversed course and entered the transfer portal. Now, 247Sports can report Tutt has withdrawn his name from the transfer portal, indicating he plans to return to The Plains for his senior season.

Tutt has appeared in 33 career games over three seasons with the Tigers, recording 88 tackles, six tackles for loss, two sacks, three interceptions, six pass breakups and one forced fumble. He also averaged 13.2 yards on 31 punt returns. In nine games this season, he notched 31 tackles, one tackle for loss, one pass breakup and one fumble recovery.

He was among the group of players who opted out of the Tigers’ matchup with Northwestern in the Citrus Bowl.

A former four-star recruit out of Thomson High School in Thomson, Ga., Tutt was ranked as the No. 276 overall prospect and No. 28 cornerback in the country for the 2018 class, according to the 247Sports Composite. He was also the No. 30 ranked player in the Peach State.

The NCAA introduced the portal on Oct. 15, 2018, providing athletes a path to explore their options. Players do not need to ask permission from their coaching staff in order to transfer. They merely need to request that compliance enter their name. Usually, it takes 24-48 hours for a player to appear following their request. Schools are free to contact a player without restriction once their name appears in the portal.

While a player entering their name in the transfer portal means they intend to explore their options, it does not necessarily mean they will leave. A player is free to withdraw his name at any time. However, schools are under no obligation to keep a player on scholarship once they enter the portal.

In the very recent past, signing with an agent ended a player's college eligibility. Was the report about him signing wrong, or has a major rule change slipped by us all?

[toddc 13,194]

I’m glad he’s coming back and he will add some continuity to the secondary this fall. I was one who thought he should go after sitting out the bowl game, but this humbling experience will make him work harder in my opinion. Glad he’s back!

Tutt has taken some brutal hits for Auburn and delivered some electric stuff at times.  The man is welcome at Auburn in any capacity his entire life.

Nah, not really. 

Very happy to have CT back. Good football player. Love his attitude on the field. As far as I know, an asset to the locker room. I'm glad that none of these idiotic, overly complicated, ever-changing rules screwed him out of his eligibility and ability to play where he wants and where he's wanted.

When he returned the ball, absolutely. He got where he always called a fair catch, even when he had space to make a return, and that’s why he was replaced.

Most were more upset about his sitting out of the bowl game if I remember correctly.

I'm not gonna go all link nerd on you, but I'd be curious where you heard that. 

If a guy is always calling fair catch- particularly after he's previously been more aggressive- it's usually because he's being coached to. Maybe he muffed a punt and got nervous or something, though.

Which is dumb. That's between him, his teammates and his coaches. 

[chizhead 618]

The original scoop by Matt Zeintz(sic) said he had signed with an agent. I read it and there is a thread on 24/7 saying the same

a lot of people were upset about him declaring for the draft , but even if he did sit out the bowl game.

keep that same energy. Now we are fans again because he decides to possibly return? Fickle,Fickle bunch.

[Barnacle 9,064]

One of, if not the best open field tackler we've got. Would love to see him return. 

[abw0004 10,110]

Good for him.  Happy to have Tutt back!

Well it’s football forum fodder too, and in a big way. Tried to use as many f words as possible here. 😝 

[tbone4jc 2,241]

The prodigal son has returned home!😁😁 All jokes aside, glad to have him back

[Pedaler 1,001]

I’ll be rooting for him. If I had to guess, I’d say the NCAA’s postponing of the immediate eligibility rule is why he’s staying.

Correct. If Coach Harsin wants him back, ok, if he doesn't that's ok too. Others who were leaving stood by their teammates and played in the bowl game. That's commendable. Ducking out on the players and coaches who got you through college isn't.
