According to Hutcherson's coach, Darrion has passed his graduation exam, in addition to his summer class, and will start practice with Auburn on Thursday. Hutcherson received the news this morning.

"I went to sleep with a Jesus piece wrapped around my hand, I just kept praying and praying," he said. "I texted my counselor this morning and she said the results hadn't come back yet she said it may be next week. I was like, 'please let it be today'. I asked for her to check it again, so she went and checked and they still weren't up.

"My heart was racing, so I fell back asleep and woke up to a missed call from her. She said, 'guess who's going to Auburn?' My heart dropped, my dad walked into the room and he started crying, I started crying, it's just a great feeling knowing that's off my back."

Hutcherson now awaits clearance from Auburn and the NCAA

i know that's an awesome moment for Hutcherson, but passing the grad exam is the beginning... not the end.

I'm sure the kid knows it, and there is a strong support system for athletes, but class is gonna get a lot harder.
