College career
Sutherland played four seasons for the Texas A&M Aggies and joined the team as an early enrollee. He was named the Aggies starting right guard going into his true freshman season and played in all 13 of the team's games, starting seven of them. Sutherland had surgery to repair an injured shoulder after his freshman season and missed spring practice and lost his starting position.
Sutherland eventually regained his starters spot for the final four games of his sophomore season, playing in eight games total. He started the first six games of his junior year at right tackle before undergoing an appendectomy during the bye week. He did not miss a game and returned to start the rest of the season at left guard.[1]
