The Miami Dolphins added a former South Florida high school star, Tutu Atwell, to bolster their wide receiver room last week in free agency.

It was a very active week for new Miami Dolphins general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan as NFL free agency kicked off. Bolstering the depth and overall speed in the wide receiver room, Sullivan and Miami inked former Los Angeles Rams target Tutu Atwell to a one-year deal on Thursday. The speedy slot receiver could immediately make an impact in a room that lost Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine this offseason.

Here are four things to learn about a familiar face who is returning to South Florida. Miami-born and raised Atwell was Miami-born and attended Miami Northwestern High School. He actually played quarterback and was named Miami-Dade County Player of the Year his senior season, and led them to a FHSAA 6A state championship before heading to the University of Louisville.

Cardinals star Atwell spent three seasons at Louisville and totaled 140 receptions, 2,307 yards, and 21 touchdowns. His career yards per catch were 16. 5, making him a bona fide big-play threat with his speed.

He shares a school record for 100-yard receiving games in a season, where he logged seven in 2019. One of the other three players he shares this with is former Dolphins and Louisville legend Mark Clayton. Superb sophomore season In an outstanding 2019 sophomore season, Atwell was the nationโ€™s seventh leading wide receiver in yards with 1,276, and led the Atlantic Coast Conference.
