AUGUST 20 • Associated Press

Held under wraps in bowl game Hutson gathered in three of six targets for 24 yards during Friday's 24-19 defeat against SMU.

Impact Hutson was coming off a three-game string with 24 catches for 351 yards and a touchdown, but the Mustangs' secondary did a good job of keeping the senior wideout in check in what could be his final collegiate game. Despite being a redshirt senior, Hutson has only played more than four games in three seasons thus far, so there is a chance he could apply for another campaign of eligibility, but he could also elect to move on from the college game.

Impact Hutson had one of his best performances of the season Saturday, highlighted by his season-high 123 receiving yards.

Scores in Saturday's win Hutson posted five receptions (on seven targets) for 37 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 52-17 win over Colorado.

Impact Hutson scored his third touchdown of the season Saturday, one of four touchdowns Noah Fifita threw in the blowout win. Hutson caught a team-high five passes in the win, but his overall workload was limited based on how quickly the Wildcats took an insurmountable lead. He should be able to have another good performance Saturday versus Kansas.

100 yards and touchdown Saturday Hutson caught nine passes for 106 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's 33-27 overtime loss against Brigham Young.

Impact Hutson had his best of game of the season Saturday as he set season highs in receptions (nine) and yards (106) and caught his second touchdown of the season. He has been very productive across the last three games, totaling 18 receptions for 211 yards and two touchdowns over that stretch. He will look to keep that momentum going Saturday at Houston.

Productive in Saturday's loss Hutson hauled in 6 of 10 targets for 67 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 39-14 defeat versus Iowa State.

Impact After recording just two catches across his first two appearances of the season, Hutson exploded in Saturday's loss. He was tied for the team lead for 10 targets, and led the team with six catches for 67 yards. He also scored his first touchdown of the season, a nine-yard catch just before halftime. Although some of this breakout can be explained by the Wildcats being down big early in the contest, it would be surprising if Hutson just disappeared again after this strong outing.

Low volume in blowout Hutson (undisclosed) caught two passes for 51 yards during Saturday's 48-3 victory versus Weber State.

Impact Hutson was able to suit up after being seen warming up with the team in pregame after being held out of arizona's Week 1 matchup due to an undisclosed injury. The 5-foot-11 receiver caught just two passes on the day with much of his production coming on a 40-yard toss from quarterback Noah Fifita in the first quarter for his first catch of the season. Huston will hope to build off this performance when the Wildcats face Kansas State on Friday.

Dressed ahead of Week 2 Hutson (undisclosed) walked out on the field for warmups fully dressed, per Coein Kinney of PHNX Wildcats.

Impact Hutson remains a true game-time call, but this is a positive sign that implies the wideout could be leaning towards playing tonight. Hutson is expected to be a starter for the Wildcats after he posted 54 catches for 683 yards and two touchdowns with Washington State last season, and signs are pointing towards Week 2 as his Arizona debut.

Could play in Week 2 Hutson reportedly has a "chance" to play in Week 2 versus Weber State, per Justin Spears of the Arizona Daily Star.

Impact The Wildcats' projected top receiver sat out the opener against Hawaii, but could return for Week 2. That's not a very strong word used by head coach Brent Brennan, but there's at least hope for the starting wideout to return. Hutson is coming off a 54-catch, 683-yard, two-touchdown performance with Washington State last season.

SEPTEMBER 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sits out Week 1 Hutson (undisclosed) didn't suit up for the Wildcats in Week 1, per Justin Spears of the Arizona Daily Star.

Impact Hutson, the Washington State transfer, is projected to be one of the Wildcats' top receivers - when he's on the field. The senior wideout didn't dress for Arizona's Week 1 clash with Hawaii, and there's no clear timetable for his return at the moment. Hutson reeled in 54 catches for 683 yards and two scores last season.

Picks Arizona Hutson will transfer to Arizona, Jason Scheer of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Hutson posted 54 catches for 683 yards in his lone season at Washington State. Prior to his stint with the Cougars, he spent three seasons at Oregon, where he caught 75 passes for 891 yards and two scores. The wideout is a proven playmaker anywhere he goes, and will now look to cap off a successful collegiate career with the Wildcats, where he'll have one of the Big 12's better quarterbacks in Noah Fifita to throw him the ball.

DECEMBER 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Enters transfer portal Hutson has entered the transfer portal, Chris Hummer of 247Sports reports.

Impact Having only one year of collegiate eligibility remaining, Hutson entering the transfer portal makes a lot of sense, considering he gives himself a choice to choose the school for his last year. It also makes sense considering his 2024, the wideout's best year as a student athlete thus far.

Continues struggling Hutson totaled one reception (on two targets) for 12 yards during Saturday's 49-28 victory versus Utah State.

Impact At one time the Cougars top receiver, Hutson has only four catches for 28 yards in the last two games. Hutson could rebound in the next contest against New Mexico on Nov. 16. The Lobos defense is near the bottom of the country against the pass.

NOVEMBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Bottoms out against Aztecs Hutson caught 3 of 5 targets for 16 yards during Saturday's 29-26 victory over San Diego State.

Impact It was the senior's lowest output in a game this season. Hutson is second on the team in receiving with 522 yards on 40 catches. He should be primed for a rebound in the next game against Utah State (Nov. 9) whose defense is near the bottom against the pass.

OCTOBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Leads Cougars in receiving Hutson gathered in 7 of 10 targets for 90 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 42-10 win against Hawaii.

Impact Hutson bounced right back after a poor performance against Fresno State (37 receiving yards on five catches, Oct. 12). In addition, the senior caught his first touchdown since the season opener against Portland State on August 31. Hutson has a good shot padding his stats on Saturday (Oct. 26) against San Diego State. The Aztecs defense is middle of the pack in the country against the pass.

OCTOBER 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Can't pull off repeat Hutson logged six receptions (on 11 targets) for 45 yards during Saturday's 25-17 victory over Fresno State.

Impact Hutson fell far short of a reaching the century mark in receiving yards in back-to-back games. In the Sept. 28th contest against Boise State, the senior collected 126 receiving yards. Against Nevada, the passing game was not there. He will try to rebound against Hawaii on Oct. 19. The Rainbow Warriors defense though is a bit tougher against the pass than the run.
