Aaron Solomon, longtime coordinating producer of “Around the Horn,” called McNutt with the news earlier this month. She was a two-year team captain at Georgetown, where she led the Hoyas to a Sweet 16 appearance as a senior in 2011. When McNutt mentioned that she was interested in pursuing a career in journalism, Solomon encouraged her to consider the University of Maryland’s master’s program in sports broadcasting. “George almost instantly became my journalism fairy godfather,” said McNutt, who earner her master’s from Maryland in 2013. McNutt then worked at Prince George’s Community Television and as a multimedia journalist at News Channel 8 before her position was eliminated.
