Indiana quarterback Jack Tuttle is entering the transfer portal so he can play elsewhere in 2023, but unlike many transfers, the redshirt-senior captain is staying with the Hoosiers throughout this season ”because I love my guys too much.”
“I love my teammates and I’m not going to leave them in the season,” Tuttle told HoosiersNow.com publisher Tom Brew on Monday morning in an exclusive interview. “I know there are a ton of other people in the NCAA who leave in the middle of the season and I’m not going to do that. Nor will I let this be a distraction or affect how I prepare and lead the team. This just gives me the best chance to play next year and be in the best spot.
“I love my teammates, I really do. I love Bloomington, and I love my school, but that’s really it. There’s a lot that kind of goes into it. I have one full year left to play the great game of football in college, and maybe in my life. I have been extremely loyal to IU for the past four years, and I’m going to remain loyal to IU through the end of this season. But by being in the portal now, I’m giving myself the time to find the best place for next year and my final season.”
