College career
[edit]Mutobola was a defensive back for the Western Ontario Mustangs from 2008-2012. In his five seasons at Western, he recorded 39 tackles, an interception, and eight pass break-ups. In his breakout 2012 season, he had 21 tackles, an interception, and six pass break-ups, which resulted in him being named a first-team OUA all-star.[1]
Professional career
[edit]On April 4, 2013, Mutobola was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Hamilton Tiger-Cats to play at the defensive back position.[1] He spent time on the practice squad until August 15, when he was moved to the active roster. He played in Week 8 against the Toronto Argonauts, where he recorded a special teams tackle. He received a season-ending knee injury in Week 9, after which the Tiger-Cats moved him to the injured list.[2][3] He was later dropped by the team on June 16, 2014. He briefly appeared on the Tiger-Cats' practice squad from July 28 to September 16. Later in the 2014 season, he appeared on the Toronto Argonauts' practice squad from October 20 to October 28.[4]
Mutobola was signed as a free agent by the Edmonton Eskimos on May 30, 2015 as a running back, the first time he had played at this position professionally.[5]
