Patrick Wayne Kutas Jr. (born August 12, 2004) is an American college football guard for the Ole Miss Rebels. He previously played for the Arkansas Razorbacks.
Early life
[edit source]Kutas played high school football at Christian Brothers High School in Memphis.[1] He played on both the offensive and defensive lines.[2][3] As a senior he was named to the D2AAA West All-Region Team and helped Christian Brothers to an 8-5 record and state semifinal appearance.[4] He was rated the No. 5 prospect in Tennessee and No. 10 interior offensive lineman nationally by 247Sports.[5] He committed to Arkansas on July 17, 2021.[6]
College career
[edit source]Arkansas
[edit source]During his freshman season with Arkansas, Kutas played all 13 games primarily on special teams where he saw 124 snaps.[7] The following season, he started along the offensive line in nine games before suffering a season ending injury.[8] After suffering a back injury early in fall camp, Kutas was sidelined for most of the 2024 season.[8] After missing the first seven games of the season, he debuted against Mississippi State on Oct. 26.[9] He worked with then-head coach Sam Pittman to preserve his redshirt for this season.[9] In exchange for redshirting, Kutas assured Pittman he would not transfer and use the extra season granted by the redshirt elsewhere.[7]
On December 5, 2024, Kutas announced plans to enter the transfer portal.[4]
Ole Miss
[edit source]Kutas announced he would transfer to Ole Miss on December 13, 2024.[10] He arrived on campus in January and participated in spring drills with the Rebels.[11] In November, Kutas was announced as the recipient of the 2025 Kent Hull Trophy.[12] Despite Lane Kiffin's departure at the end of 2025, Kutas chose to remain at Ole Miss for the 2026 season. When asked about Pete Golding, Kiffin's replacement, Kutas said, "[e]veryone who is here wants to be here. Everyone’s bought into Coach Golding’s vision, so now we just have to go out and execute it."[13]
Personal life
[edit source]Kutas is the son of Pat and Suzanne Kutas.[11] He has three sisters, Sarah, Elizabeth and Mary Margaret, and has one brother, Hayes.[14]
