Hutchinson was recruited by the defending NCAA champions NC State, but he elected to enrol at the University of Arkansas to play for the Razorbacks.[6] Hutchinson did not originally qualify for a scholarship but eventually made the team in 1984.[7] Though naturally a point guard, Hutchinson played as a shooting guard at Arkansas.[8] Cocaine abuse cut down his time as a player as he tested positive for the drug twice during his time at the school.[4] Hutchinson was a walk-on during his redshirt junior season in 1986–87.[1] He was not selected in the 1987 NBA draft.
