Frank Cutolo (born 1978) is a former award-winning college and Canadian Football League slotback. [1]

Cutolo played his college football at Eastern Illinois University from 1998 to 2001. As a receiver he caught 119 passes for 2182 yards. He was a second team Ohio Valley Conference all-star in 2001, partly on the strength of his record setting performance against Tennessee State, when he set a team record for receiving yards in a game (239) on October 27, 2001.[2]

He became a professional with the British Columbia Lions in 2003, and his 64 pass receptions, 908 yards, 93 punt and kick off returns and 9 touchdowns were good for the CFL's Most Outstanding Rookie Award.[3] His performance dropped off in 2004 (47 receptions for 786 yards, with 9 TDs) and he was eventually cut from the team. The Lions' coach, Wally Buono, chalked it up to burnout: ""He was a young guy, not big, a rookie that we beat to death ... Sometimes you don’t do things as smart as you should."[4] He played one final year with the Ottawa Renegades where he caught 21 passes for 222 yards and one touchdown.
