Andrew Gutman

Prior to college soccer, Gutman played high school soccer for one season at Hinsdale Central High School before joining the Chicago Fire's youth academy for his sophomore through senior years of high school.

Ahead of the 2015 NCAA Division I men's soccer season, Gutman signed a National Letter of Intent to play for the Indiana Hoosiers men's soccer program. He immersed himself as an immediate starter with the program starting in all 21 matches for the Hoosiers during the 2015 season. He finished his freshman year by being named to the Big Ten All-Second Team, the Big Ten All-Freshman Team, and the NSCAA All-Midwest Regional team. He finished his freshman season with one goal and one assist. Gutman remained a regular starter for the Hoosiers entering his sophomore season, where he made 21 appearances. He led the team in assists his sophomore year with three, and scored once. Following the conclusion of the 2016 season, he was named to the Big Ten second-team, and to the all-Midwest NSCAA team.

It was speculated that Gutman might forgo his last two seasons of collegiate eligibility and sign a contract with Chicago Fire.{{cite web |last1=Santaromita |first1=Dan |title=How Nelson Rodriguez views the Fire's player development |url=https://www.nbcsports.com/chicago/chicago-fire/how-nelson-rodriguez-views-fires-player-development |website=NBC Sports |access-date=December 27, 2018 |date=May 24, 2017}} However, Todd Yeagley confirmed in July that Gutman would be returning to Indiana for his junior year. During his third year with the Hoosiers, he picked up several conference, regional, and national honors. During the season, he scored seven goals and dished out four assists, to have 18 total points. His honors his junior included being named a second-team All-American by United Soccer Coaches and CollegeSoccerNews.com. Gutman was named a third-team All-American by TopDrawerSoccer.com. Furthermore, he was named to the All-Midwest region by United Soccer Coaches, and named to the All-Tournament team for the 2017 NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Tournament.

It was speculated by the media that Gutman would sign a homegrown contract with the Chicago Fire once again, but he returned to Indiana for his senior season. Ahead of the 2018 NCAA Division I men's soccer season, he was listed on the First-Team Preseason Best XI by Top Drawer Soccer, listed on the Missouri Athletic Club's Hermann Trophy watchlist, and was listed as the second best player in the nation by Top Drawer Soccer, and the best player in the Big Ten by Top Drawer Soccer.

During Gutman's senior season, he started 23 of 24 matches for the Hoosiers and led the team with 11 goals on the season, despite being a defender. He was also second on the team in assists, dishing out nine assists. He anchored Indiana's back line which led the NCAA in shutouts (15) and allowed 13 goals all season. Following his senior year, Gutman earned accolades including winning the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year, and being listed as a Hermann Trophy finalist.{{cite web |last1=Punzal |first1=Barry |title=Indiana soccer's Andrew Gutman earns spot among Hermann Trophy finalists |url=https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/college/indiana/2018/12/07/indiana-soccers-andrew-gutman-earns-spot-hermann-trophy-finalist/2241808002/ |website=Indianapolis Star |access-date=December 27, 2018 |date=December 7, 2018}}{{cite web |title=MAC Hermann Trophy Finalists Announced |url=http://www.machermanntrophy.org/news/2018/12/7/mac-hermann-trophy-finalists-announced |website=Missouri Athletic Club |access-date=December 27, 2018 |date=December 7, 2018 |archive-date=April 14, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190414012929/http://www.machermanntrophy.org/news/2018/12/7/mac-hermann-trophy-finalists-announced |url-status=dead }}{{cite web |last1=Kennedy |first1=Paul |title=MAC Hermann Trophy: Indiana's Muse and Gutman are men's semifinalists |url=https://www.socceramerica.com/publications/article/80508/mac-hermann-trophy-indianas-muse-and-gutman-are.html |website=Soccer America |access-date=December 27, 2018 |date=November 28, 2018}} He was listed as a first-team All-American by United Soccer Coaches,{{cite web |last1=Price |first1=Jeremy |title=Gutman finalist for MAC Hermann Trophy #iums |url=https://www.hoosiersportsreport.com/2018/12/gutman-finalist-for-mac-hermann-trophy-iums/ |website=Hoosiers Sports Report |access-date=December 25, 2018 |date=December 7, 2018}} and won the men's TopDrawerSoccer.com National Player of the Year Award.{{cite web |last1=Matricardi |first1=Auston |title=Ten Hoosiers collect individual postseason awards |url=https://www.crimsonquarry.com/2018/12/17/18145525/ten-hoosiers-collect-individual-postseason-awards |website=The Crimson Quarry |publisher=SB Nation |access-date=December 23, 2018 |date=December 17, 2018}}
