Jeremy Kwasi Zuttah (born June 1, 1986) is an American football center for the Baltimore Ravens of the National Football League (NFL). He was drafted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the third round of the 2008 NFL Draft. He played college football at Rutgers.
Zuttah started for three years at J. P. Stevens High School, becoming a highly touted prospect and turning down several college football powers for Rutgers. Zuttah's career followed in the footsteps of his older brother Jeff, who committed to the University of Michigan in 2003, but never played a down after team doctors became concerned about his sickle-cell anemia. Jeff later transferred to Stanford University.
He was rated a three-star recruit by Rivals.com while being recruited. Zuttah commented that his final three schools came down to Rutgers, Maryland, and Pittsburgh.
As a true freshman in 2004, Zuttah was a reserve player, appearing in nine games, with five starts at both tackle spots and left guard. In 2005, Zuttah started at left guard next to Pedro Sosa, forming a top combination that helped paved the way for Ray Rice during his freshman season. In 2006, Rutgers switched to a zone blocking scheme, and Zuttah subsequently moved to right tackle, in order to better utilize his athleticism in the scheme. Emerging as a vocal team leader, Zuttah earned all-Big East honors as the Rutgers offensive line only surrendered 8 sacks all season, the fewest in all of Division I-A, also ranking fifteenth in the nation in rushing.
