Four Texas Longhorns signed priority free agent deals following the 2016 NFL Draft, but there’s another member of the outgoing group of players who is getting a chance to play at the next level.

Marcus Hutchins attended the Seattle Seahawks rookie mini-camp on a tryout basis. A key member of the Texas offensive line in 2014 and 2015, Hutchins posted on his Facebook page when he landed in Seattle for workouts seeming grateful for the opportunity.

Prior to the arrival of Charlie Strong Hutchins was used sparingly. A 2011 signee out of DeSoto, Hutchins played in two career games and moved to defensive tackle in 2013 before Strong and Joe Wickline moved him back to the other side of the ball.



Hutchins wound up starting all 13 games of the 2014 season, including 12 starts at left tackle. He saw action in 10 games as a senior, earning starts against TCU and Baylor.
