Marvin McNutt, Jr. (born July 4, 1989) is a former American football wide receiver. McNutt is currently the head coach of the Cedar Rapids Titans of the Indoor Football League (IFL). After playing college football for Iowa, where he became the all-time leader in receiving touchdowns and yardage (single season & career), he was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in the sixth round, pick #194 of the 2012 NFL Draft. He was named the head coach of the Cedar Rapids Titans of the Indoor Football League for the 2017 season.
Marvin was born to Anita and Marvin McNutt on the Fourth of July in 1989. McNutt attended Hazelwood Central High School (located in Florissant, Missouri), where he reports having a GPA of 3.2 and an ACT composite score of 20.
In addition to football, McNutt also lettered in baseball and basketball. He was listed as a division one recruit in not just football, but also basketball. McNutt said he was offered scholarships from Southern Illinois University, Missouri State University and Indiana State University. Despite the offers, McNutt said, "My future is in football and if I go to a major college with a football scholarship, I won't be playing any basketball in college." McNutt earned honorable mention all-conference laurels as a sophomore and as his high school career developed, he continued to stand out. McNutt was named a starter six games into the regular season of his junior year, with Hazlewood Central struggling. Coach John Pukala was upset with the team's (3-3) record and put the fate of the team on the shoulders of his backup. McNutt quickly established himself as a dominant player. His statistics did not at all support the fact that he only played seven games. With 79 pass completions in 157 attempts, he recorded 1,239 yards, 12 touchdowns and just four interceptions. He also rushed 14 times for 76 yards and two touchdowns, and caught two passes for 28 yards. McNutt's stellar work propelled the Hazelwood Central Hawks into the state championship where they were defeated 48-31 by De Smet Jesuit High School. At the end of the season McNutt was listed second team all-state. But, McNutt did not stop there as he continued to impress during his senior year. McNutt threw for 1,605 yards along with 15 touchdowns off of 90 completions in 162 pass attempts and only six interceptions. McNutt secured himself as a scrambler as he rushed for 337 yards and eight touchdowns. The powerhouse quarterback raised the eyebrows of several Division I colleges. He received scholarship offers from Iowa, Indiana, Kansas, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Nebraska and Missouri.
