The team's offensive line leader, where he anchored the front wall with 28 consecutive starts at right tackle, Zuttah provided the Scarlet Knights with a dominant force up front. He did not allow any sacks over his last two seasons, as the line ranked second in the nation in 2007 and led the NCAA ranks in 2006 for fewest sacks allowed.

The David Bender Trophy winner as the top offensive lineman on the team, Zuttah could possibly shift to an interior line position at the next level. With his explosion off the snap, solid hand technique and raw power, some scouts feel that he could be much more efficient as a trap blocker rather than isolated at tackle.

Zuttah was a three-year starter at J.P. Stevens High School, where he was ranked as the 20th-best offensive lineman and defensive tackle in the country by The Insiders.com. He ranked as the nation's 34th-best offensive guard nationally and the 14th-best prospect in New Jersey by Rivals.com. Super Prep ranked him the ninth-best player in New Jersey after the two-time All-Area choice posted 45 tackles and 3 ½ sacks at defensive end in 2003.

Zuttah also garnered first-team All-Middlesex and All-Group IV accolades as a senior. He led his team to a 24-8 record in his three years of varsity action, including winning the 2001 state championship with an undefeated season. He started at defensive tackle as a junior and defensive end as a senior. He also played guard and tackle on offense. In addition to football, he lettered in baseball and basketball.

Zuttah was thrust right into the action upon arriving at Rutgers in 2004. He missed the Pittsburgh and Temple clashes with a left knee sprain, but started five of nine contests, lining up vs. Navy at left tackle, vs. West Virginia and Boston College at left guard and vs. Vanderbilt at right tackle.

A high left ankle sprain sidelined Zuttah for the Navy, South Florida and Louisville games in 2005. He started the other nine contests at left guard, helping an offense that averaged 397.08 yards per game.

Zuttah earned All-Big East Conference first-team honors in 2006. He registered 88 knock-downs, including 10 touchdown-resulting blocks while starting all season at right offensive tackle. He was part of the stingiest offensive line in college, as the Scarlet Knights allowed just eight sacks and the team ranked 15th in the NCAA in rushing, averaging 180.15 yards per game on the ground.

As a senior, Zuttah was again a first-team All-Big East Conference choice. He did not allow any sacks for the 28th consecutive game, posting a career-high 108 knockdowns as the offense averaged 449.31 yards per game.

Positives: Has a thick lower body frame that gives him his strong anchor and base … Bit lean up top for an offensive lineman, but possesses excellent natural strength and hand punch (needs to shoot his hands with better consistency, though) … Moves well sliding down the line and could be a better fit at an interior line position, thanks to his body control and ability to get after defenders on traps and pulls … Shows quickness off the ball and adequate speed working in space … When he keeps his pads down, he is much more effective attaining proper knee bend and roll with his hips … Shows good hand/eye coordination with his hand punch and is quick to reset … Displays good instincts on the field, picking up blitzes and making the switch to the second level, taking good angles to neutralize linebackers on traps and pulls … Smart player who has no problems taking plays from the chalkboard to the playing field … Called by the staff the toughest player on the team, as well as one of its hardest workers … Shows a willingness to play hurt and pushes himself in practices and the training room … Has a quick first step off the snap and when he keeps his pads down, is very efficient at getting into the exposed area of the defender's body on the rise … Has the feet and effort to stay with blocks and put his opponent on the ground, showing good aggression attacking his opponent … Shows the feet, strength and effort to move his man off the snap and create rushing lanes, using his leg drive and keeping his shoulders square to widen the creases … Displays good body control and hand contact while on the move … Gets to the second level quickly and has the athletic ability to block in space … Can lock up and steer his man while in pass protection and will generally keeps his hands inside his frame tight, letting him punch with good power … Will struggle at times vs. the speedy edge rusher, but generally shows good balance working in-line in pass protection … Has a good concept for taking angles on the short-area pulls, keeping his head on a swivel to locate secondary targets … When he keeps his center of gravity low, he is capable of handling the bull rush (will get walked back into the pocket when his level gets too tall) … Does a good job of squaring his shoulders and occupying the defender firing off the snap.

Negatives: While he has very good strength, he has lean muscle mass for an offensive lineman … Bit undersized to play tackle at the next level and might be a better fit as a guard or even possibly at center, as he has the hand quickness to snap and the initial burst to gain advantage on traps and pulls … Will play with pain, but has had recent back issues that might need further medical evaluation … Has just adequate ability to slide and mirror vs. the speedier edge rushers, but is more effective when blocking in-line … Needs to mature in the locker room, as his bit of arrogance and attitude can rub his teammates and coaches the wrong way … Does a good job of sinking his pads and staying low in his stance, but when he gets too tall, his base narrows and he fails to roll his hips off the snap … Does a good job of dropping anchoring in pass protection, but could use some more weight to hold his ground better vs. the bull rush … Can stay with most defensive ends, but at times will miss vs. quick spin moves (has good timed speed, but is lethargic getting out of his stance when needed to take on edge rushers) … Has very good weight strength, but needs to improve his punch, as he does not always shoot his hands with force … Has good timed speed, but shows some balance issues on the move (when he gets too tall in his stance, crossing his feet and failing to open his hips) … Needs to take better angles when stalking second-level defenders … When his base narrows, he can be walked back into the pocket, as he fails to anchor … Lacks ideal weight and bulk to play tackle, but his frame is at maximum growth potential and any addition could impact his overall speed.

Compares To: JOSH BEEKMAN-Chicago … Look for Zuttah to be a better fit inside than at tackle. He will need to bulk up to play either guard or tackle, but he lacks the tall frame you look for to play tackle at the next level. With his upper body strength and hand quickness, he might make a better center down the road, despite having never played that position.
