Hutson attended Fort Smith Northside High School, where he was an All-state offensive tackle.
In 1986, the offensive line was so effective, that it earned a Player of the Week nomination as a unit, after the season opener 38–3 win against UCLA.
In the 1988 Orange Bowl, he picked up an intentional fumble (a fumblerooski play) and ran 29 yards for a touchdown, although the Sooners would lose the game (14-20) and the national championship to the University of Miami.
[11] The team finished with an 8–5 season record, 7–1 in the Ohio Valley Conference, winning a co-championship with UT Martin.
During Hutson's first tenure at Eastern Illinois, the team won two conference titles and went to the NCAA Division I playoff twice.
[13] Following Allen's 2014 dismissal, Hutson was not retained by new head coach Jack Del Rio for the 2015 season.
He then returned to the NFL for the 2016 season as the assistant offensive line coach for the Cleveland Browns and remained in that position through 2018.
For the 2019 and 2020 football seasons, Hutson served as an offensive analyst at LSU under head coach Ed Orgeron.
