College

Tutwiler was from Birmingham, Alabama, at the time of his enrolling at the University of Alabama. He transferred from Alabama to Virginia. One account reads "Ed Tutwiler is one of the greatest stars that football in the south ever produced. He was a graduate of the University in the class of '98, and afterwards went to the University of Virginia. He was considered the pluckiest quarterback in the south, and was noted for head work and generalship."{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1817&dat=19101117&id=3cY-AAAAIBAJ&pg=3777,2314307|work=The Tuscaloosa News|date=November 17, 1910|title=Graduates Come To Varsity's Aid}}
