Hutchison will attempt to follow in the footsteps of Josh Bartel, another former AFL player who is currently a punter with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
Hutchison will be one of four punters at the Bombers camp behind incumbent Mike Renaud as well as fellow rookies Brett Cameron — the son of former Winnipeg punter Bob Cameron — and Billy Pavlopoulos, the club’s 2013 seventh-round draft pick.
