The linebacker/receiver is a two-time selection to the all-Mid-Illini first team and Journal Star all-area team, picked for both in his sophomore and junior seasons.
As a junior, Sutter had 35 receptions for 505 yards and seven touchdowns for the Eagles, who finished 6-4 and made the Class 6A playoffs.
