Saving his best for last, Stacy Tutt culminated his Richmond career with a record-breaking, award-winning senior season, leading the Spiders to an Atlantic 10 championship, quarterfinal playoff appearance and No. 8 final national ranking with a 9-4 record.

A team captain, he began the 2005 season at wide receiver, but was re-inserted at quarterback for the third game of the year, and went on to throw for 2,219 yards and 16 touchdowns. His single-season passing total ranked fourth all-time at Richmond, while his TD pass count was seventh.

His 3,047 yards of total offense in 2005 ranked as the best-ever at Richmond, while his 6,872 career total offense ranked second all-time. He finished with 5,318 yards through the air which ranked third and his 36 career touchdown passes was fourth-best ever at Richmond. His 160 points scored in a career was the fourth-most while his 72 points scored in 2005 was sixth-best.

He was named Second Team All-Atlantic 10 in 2005 after twice being selected as A-10 Player of the Week and earning National Player of the Week honors after racking up 450 yards of total offense in the Spiders' 43-37 double-overtime win against Hofstra. Tutt was named Richmond Touchdown Club Offensive Back of the Year and he was a finalist for the Dudley Award, given to the top Division I football player in Virginia.

Showing his versatility and athleticism, he spent part of his college career at wide receiver and his pro career at halfback. For the Spiders, he caught seven passes for 101 yards in a game against Delaware in 2003. Tutt played in 11 NFL games for the New York Jets as a halfback in 2006-07. He later returned to his alma mater as an assistant football coach for two seasons.
