Background

Early life

Tuttle was born on October 20, 1995, and grew up in Midway, North Carolina. He attended North Davidson High School, where he was a member of the basketball, football, and track and field teams. He made 315 career tackles, 66 tackles for loss, and 35 sacks as a four-year starter for the Black Knights, and was named All-Northwest North Carolina in each of his final three seasons and was played in the 2015 Under Armour All-American Game.

College career

Tuttle played four seasons for the Tennessee Volunteers. His freshman season was cut short after only six games, recording 10 tackles and a fumble recovery, after suffering a broken fibula and tearing a ligament in his ankle against Georgia. Tuttle's sophomore year also ended prematurely when he sustained a season-ending injury in his first career start against South Carolina. In his junior season, Tuttle played in 10 games (four starts) and made 27 tackles (2.5 for loss). As a senior, he started all 12 of Tennessee's games and made 33 tackles (2.5 for loss), with one sack, an interception, and two blocked kicks.
