Suspended for season opener Virginia Tech announced that Mutts will serve an NCAA-mandated one-game suspension for Monday's season opener against Delaware State.

Impact Mutts is being suspended for participating in non-NCAA events while going through the pre-draft NBA process before returning to Virginia Tech. The senior forward will be able to practice with the team ahead of his debut next Thursday versus Lehigh.

Returns to Virginia Tech Mutts announced that he has withdrawn from the 2022 NBA Draft and will return to college, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Mutts started all 36 games for the Hokies last season, averaging 29.8 minutes, 10.1 points, 7.4 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.2 steals per game. The 6-foot-7 forward paired with teammate Keve Aluma were known as one of the top frontcourt duos in college basketball, but Mutts will have to work to find that chemistry with another teammate as Aluma remains in the NBA Draft.

Double-double against Notre Dame Mutts racked up 11 points (4-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-7 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists, three blocks and three steals across 33 minutes during Thursday's 87-80 win over Notre Dame.

Impact Mutts has scored in double digits in three of his last four appearances, and the big man has also grabbed at least nine rebounds in each of those four contests, so he's been getting the job done on both ends of the court of late. Mutts enters a tough matchup against the Tar Heels on Friday averaging 11.6 points and 9.4 rebounds per game over his previous five contests.

Stuffs stat sheet Tuesday Mutts finished with 14 points (5-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 10 rebounds, six assists and two blocks over 33 minutes during Tuesday's 75-43 win over Louisville.

Impact Mutts recorded his first double-double since Feb. 12 and his third of the season, though he's been able to make an impact both as a scorer and a rebounder. He's had a few consistency issues of late, but Mutts is trending in the right direction with averages of 9.6 points and 7.8 rebounds per game since the start of February.

Records triple-double in win Mutts had 12 points (5-10 FG, 2-2 FT), 14 rebounds, 11 assists and one block across 38 minutes during Saturday's 71-59 victory over Syracuse.

Impact Mutts registered season highs in rebounds (14) and assists (11) en route to his first triple-double of his career and just the second in Virginia Tech history. On the season, the senior big man is averaging 10.4 points, 7.6 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.2 steals in 28.9 minutes per game.

Posts double-double against UNC Mutts finished with 18 points (8-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-4 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 32 minutes during Monday's 78-68 loss to North Carolina.

Impact Mutts did everything in his power to lift the Hokies past UNC, but his efforts were not enough. This was his fourth game with double-digit rebounds but it was only his first double-double of the campaign.

Comes close to double-double Mutts supplied 13 points (6-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt), nine rebounds, four assists and two blocks across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 62-59 win over North Carolina State.

Impact Mutts was efficient when it comes to scoring and certainly made his presence felt on the glass, as he ended just one board away from a double-double, and on defense since he recorded two blocks. It was an excellent follow-up to his Jan. 15 game against Notre Dame in which he ended with 24 points.

JANUARY 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Posts new season-high Mutts finished with 24 points (9-11 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 33 minutes during Saturday's 79-73 win over Notre Dame.

Impact This matched Mutts' highest scoring total in two seasons with the Hokies and his best mark in the 2021-22 campaign. It admittedly came as a bit of a surprise, as Mutts had recorded just two and six points in his previous two games. Most of the Virginia Tech offense runs through center Keve Aluma, so despite Saturday's effort, it might be difficult to rely on Mutts for consistent production moving forward.

JANUARY 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Another double-digit scoring effort Mutts totaled 10 points (3-4 FG, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and one block over 20 minutes during Wednesday's 93-60 win over Cornell.

Impact Mutts has scored in double digits in three games, and while he's yet to deliver a double-double, he has been turning things around of late following a rather slow start to the campaign. Mutts has averaged 10.6 points, 7.6 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.4 steals per game over his last five appearances.

DECEMBER 9, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Strong shooting performance Mutts accumulated 15 points (7-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three rebounds and three assists in 28 minutes during Saturday's 80-61 loss to Wake Forest.

Impact Mutts has scored in double digits just four times this season, but the fact that two of those contests have come in his last two games is certainly encouraging. The senior is having a decent year and is averaging 10.3 points and 7.1 rebounds per game so far.

Pulls down 11 rebounds Mutts ended with five points (2-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 0-2 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 32 minutes during Friday's 59-58 loss to Xavier.

Impact Mutts has struggled to deliver strong numbers on offense, but he's been massive when it comes to rebounding and has grabbed at least 10 boards in each of his last two contests. He hasn't scored in double digits in four games in a row, though.

NOVEMBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Comes close to double-double Mutts logged 11 points (5-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt), eight rebounds, one assist and one block across 25 minutes during Monday's 65-39 victory over Radford.

Impact Mutts hasn't been able to repeat the 15-point output he had in the season opener, but he's been a consistent player that has contributed on both ends of the court through the Hokies' first three games. He's averaging 11.7 points and 7.0 rebounds per game so far.

Puts up 15 points in blowout win Mutts recorded 15 points (7-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt), seven rebounds, six assists, one block and two steals across 23 minutes during Tuesday's 82-47 victory over Maine.

Impact Mutts only averaged 9.5 points per game last season, but Tuesday's season opener showed he might be ready to handle a bigger role offensively. He already scored double digits per game in 2019-20, so a steady role on offense shouldn't be anything new for him.

NOVEMBER 10, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 15 points against Miami Mutts recorded 15 points (5-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-5 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and three steals across 34 minutes in Tuesday's 80-78 win over Miami.

Impact Mutts finished as Virginia Tech's second-highest scorer in this game, and he also starred on defense since he paced the Hokies in both rebounds and steals. He has scored in double digits just three times this season, however, and he's lacked the consistency to become a regular fantasy contributor.

DECEMBER 30, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 12 points in win Mutts notched 12 points (3-3 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), six rebounds, two steals and an assist across 39 minutes during Saturday's 81-73 overtime win over Villanova.

Impact Mutts only missed two free throws in what was otherwise an excellent shooting display from the junior who transferred from Delaware earlier this year. This was his first start of the season and responded, which bodes well for him to earn another start in a back-to-back Sunday at South Florida.
