Early life

McCutcheon played high school football at Bishop Amat Memorial High School in La Puente, California under the direction of then-head coach Mark Paredes. As a senior, he rushed for 2,456 yards in 1994; however he chose to play cornerback in college because his pro prospects were considered better at that position. [1]

[2] Following his senior year, he was named All-American second-team by The Sporting News and All-Pac-10 first-team. He was also a semifinalist for the Jim Thorpe Award.
