Indiana University Football Quarterback Jack Tuttle will finish 2022 season and enter transfer portal for 2023
Indiana quarterback Jack Tuttle wants to play college football in 2023, and he knows that can’t be at Indiana. The redshirt senior, who lost the starting job to Connor Bazelak at the start of the season entered the NCAA transfer portal on Monday morning. But unlike most other transfers, he’s staying at Indiana throughout the 2022 season and still hopes to help the Hoosiers win some football games this year. It’s an odd decision, entering the portal now while staying in school, but a lot of the reasoning behind the timing has to do with school schedules and giving himself the best opportunity to find a new home in 2023 without leaving his teammates this year.
Tuttle, who was elected as a team captain this year by the players, is currently in the MBA program at the prestigious Kelley School of Business at Indiana. They are on the quarter system, and one ends this week. Another one starts in a few weeks and run into February. Because his potential new school might be on the semester system and start in January, he cannot be dual enrolled at two different schools and be on scholarship. So, he has worked very hard with the NCAA and the Indiana compliance department to come up with a solution. This way, he can stay at Indiana and finish out the season, but then transfer without sitting out at the end of the year.
Tuttle has been at Indiana for four seasons now. He transferred to Indiana after one year at Utah, and after sitting out a year, he learned the system while sitting behind starters Michael Penix Jr. and Peyton Ramsey. He became the starter last year after Penix injured his shoulder, but them Tuttle missed time himself with an ankle injury as Indiana’s season disintegrated without him and Penix available. In January, Tuttle looked to be the starter coming into the season. Indiana recruited Connor Bazelak out of the transfer portal and the former Missouri starter competed with Tuttle all spring and summer. Tuttle took the majority of No. 1 reps in camp and thought he was going to be the starting quarterback heading into the season. But Indiana coach Tom Allen and offensive coordinator Walt Bell instead announced that Bazelak would start just prior to the season opener.
