Men of steal: JCSU picks Bears clean, 4 more interceptions in 17-10 win vs. Shaw

CHARLOTTE, North Carolina -- Big-play fever is spreading on Johnson C. Smith’s defense.

The Golden Bulls have eight interceptions in the last two games – both wins – with free safety Carlo Thomas accounting for seven of them. The other belongs to Jamaal Tutt, whose 21-yard return for a touchdown proved to be the winning margin in Saturday’s 17-10 win against CIAA Southern Division rival Shaw.



“Carlo is having a phenomenal year, but he’s such an athlete, he can see things happening before other people can,” JCSU coach Kermit Blount said. “I’m real happy for Tutt because he works tremendously hard to get where he is and for him to come up with a pick-six, it’s a great feeling for him.”

Tutt’s first interception was the result of Bryce Smith tipping Terrence Shambray’s attempted screen pass in the third quarter. The ball fluttered down to Tutt, who ran untouched for the score and a 17-point Golden Bulls lead.
