He joined the Bucs as an undrafted free agent after going unselected in the 2025 NFL draft.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">The former Husker played at Nebraska from 2020 to 2024. He appeared in 49 games and recorded 79 tackles, 12 1\/2 for loss and 6 1\/2 sacks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">It&#8217;s clear Tampa Bay sees potential in the 6-foot-4, 310-pound lineman, but learning a new position at the professional level is a fascinating experiment. Tampa Bay needs depth on the offensive line, and clearly, Hutmacher&#8217;s physicality and background are seen as something that could help the team.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Contact\/Follow us<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CornhuskersWire\" data-t-l=\":b|z|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> @CornhuskersWire<\/a> on X (formerly Twitter) and like our page on<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/CornhuskersWire\" data-t-l=\":b|z|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> Facebook<\/a> to follow ongoing coverage of Nebraska news, notes and opinions.<\/p>\n<p>Need a news break? <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":body nav (play)|e|auto spike click:5|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_sp_a\" href=\"https:\/\/play.usatoday.com\/?itm_source=SPIKE&amp;itm_campaign=PLAYSPIKE&amp;itm_medium=ONSITE\">Check out the all new PLAY hub with puzzles, games and more!<\/a><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Updated May 8, 2026, 8:40 p.m. CT A former Nebraska defensive lineman is changing positions in the NFL.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":886456,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2077],"tags":[95878,211,7,6,119548,99287,96358,95882,96219,95930,96027,95893,95896,103256,99118,99117,95899,95883,95894,704,250,2597,2596,95881],"class_list":["post-886455","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tampa-bay-buccaneers","tag-accessfree","tag-buccaneers","tag-football","tag-nfl","tag-sourcecornhuskers-wire","tag-sstssportscollegecornhuskersfootball","tag-sstsnfootball","tag-tagamerican-football","tag-tagbig-10-hub","tag-tagbig-ten-conference-football","tag-tagcollege-sports","tag-tagfacebook","tag-tagnational-sports","tag-tagnebraska","tag-tagnebraska-cornhuskers","tag-tagnebraska-cornhuskers-football","tag-tagoverall-neutral","tag-tagsports-news","tag-tagtwitter","tag-tampa-bay","tag-tampa-bay-buccaneers","tag-tampabay","tag-tampabaybuccaneers","tag-typestory"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/886455","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=886455"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/886455\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/886456"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=886455"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=886455"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=886455"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
