Last season he tutored all-conference honoree Stuart Williams along a Sycamore offensive front which blocked for Jake Shields during the school’s fourth-best ever rushing effort against Florida International. During the most recent off-season offensive lineman Matt Griebel signed a free agent contact with the Indianapolis Colts.

Working with the ISU runningbacks in 2002, Hutchison guided Shields to a season in which he gained 5.4 yards per carry, scoring seven touchdowns for the Sycamores. "Hutch" also was instrumental in the development of Soso Dede and Sydney Montfort, who also combined for seven rushing touchdowns on the season.

He came to the Sycamores’ football program after spending one year as a graduate assistant with the offensive unit at Missouri.

Prior to joining the Mizzou staff, Hutchison spent two years as a graduate assistant at Toledo (1999-2000), where he also worked with the offensive unit, tutoring tight ends and wide receivers. In 1998, he served as a student assistant coach at Adrian College (Mich.), coaching wide receivers.

A 1999 graduate of Adrian College with a bachelor’s degree in Physical Education/Elementary Education, Hutchison was a three-year starter and a two-time all-conference selection at wide receiver. A team captain his senior season, he earned both team and offensive unit most valuable player honors.
