Jack Tuttle is in his seventh season of collegiate football and is 25 years of age. Still very young in the real world, yet about as old as it gets for a college athlete. Tuttle’s started five games in his career in the past for Indiana but his next start will be his biggest yet, a road tilt against Illinois on Oct. 19, his first start with the Wolverines.
Michigan head coach Sherrone Moore benched Alex Orji and inserted Tuttle in the first half last Saturday on the road against Washington with Michigan trailing 14-0. Tuttle would help Michigan storm back and take the lead, 17-14, but the offense lost steam and Michigan lost 27-17.
